Caldor Fire Links & Resources

On Thursday, October 21, the Caldor Fire Incident Management Team declared the Caldor Fire 100% contained - read the update here. A massive, massive thank you goes out to the thousands of firefighting personnel, Forest Service staff, local government employees and others who’ve been working tirelessly for two months to keep our mountain communities safe, protect the Sierra Nevada and Keep Tahoe Blue.

Repairs are well underway for areas impacted by fire suppression, including dozer lines, hand lines and staging areas. That important work to heal the Lake Tahoe environment will continue.

Remember: Full containment does not mean the fire is extinguished, or that the danger is over. Please follow all fire restrictions, and respect the current forest closure orders. Burned areas can hide hazard trees, ash pits and other dangers. Give the Forest Service and the environment time to heal.
