Sutter Creek, CA…The fire at Ampine still continues to burn but it appears all of the vegetation spot fires have been contained. Our office evacuated Amador Ridge due to the threat and have closed the area while fire fighting operations continue. We will have dedicated patrols in the area for the next 24 hours. Please stay out of the area.

It appears Ampine is a total loss. The Sheriff and all staff offer our heartfelt condolences to all of the 150 plus Ampine employees.
