Latest update: The fire was buning in manzanita, chamise, grass and oak woodland. Hand crews and dozers made good progress during the night. Limited access, steep terrain, heavy fuels, high temperatures and low humidity have made fire fighting difficult. Evacuations: None at this time. One home and one outbuilding confirmed lost. Three minor injuries to firefighters due to heat exhaustion, one other injury . Road closures: Portion of Kanaka Valley Road CDF Amador-Eldorado is handling the incident with support from local, state and federal agencies. Many thanks to the Eldorado FIO Center for their updates. |
