Video of Cal OES briefing from earlier this morning. Lots of general information about overall fire situation. Not all that informative about the Caldor though.

Looks like they got the Fallen Leaf and DL Bliss cams turned to the south west to keep an eye out for any spotting.

KCRA just said that State Line is under a warning

Immediate need strike team type 3 heading out from Sacramento?

Not sure where to put this question,
Is Basecamp still in PVille at the Fairgrounds?

Looks like everybody who wanted to get out has, traffic very light compared to before. Google traffic showing some green vs purple from earlier.

It was as of last night

Where? Ski Run and the Y are pretty vacant? A couple of hour ago it was bumper to bumper on the Cal trans Cameras

That is true. They have gone dark!
