The Caldor Fire is considered the 15th largest in state history, spanning about 210,000 acres, officials said.
Authorities lifted some evacuation orders in El Dorado County in Northern California, where the tenacious Caldor Fire had displaced thousands of people.
Pushed by strong winds, the fire had crossed two major highways and burned mountain cabins as it swept down slopes into the Tahoe Basin,. Nearly two dozen helicopters and three air tankers dumped thousands of gallons of water and retardant on it this week, officials said. They were also instructed to turn off sprinkler systems before leaving their homes in worsening drought conditions across the West. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak declared states of emergencies Monday because of the Caldor Fire’s persistent trek toward Lake Tahoe.
