A red flag warning is still in effect for the fire area through 8:00 PM tonight with winds switching to the northeast. These winds, combined with low humidity and extremely dry fuels, lead to critical fire weather conditions. The communities in proximity to the Caldor Fire experienced multiple evacuations yesterday due to the fast-moving fire. Some structures were damaged or destroyed. Structure assessment teams will be evaluating these areas as soon as it is safe for them to do so.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov\/usfs\/map\/#t:adv;d:2021-08-12..2021-08-18,2021-08-12;l:noaa20-viirs,viirs,modis_a,modis_t,active-usa-hist,active-ca-hist;@-120.3,38.6,11z\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-127057\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Chrome-Legacy-Window-8182021-93731-AM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Chrome-Legacy-Window-8182021-93731-AM.jpg 640w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Chrome-Legacy-Window-8182021-93731-AM-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Chrome-Legacy-Window-8182021-93731-AM-123x70.jpg 123w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Chrome-Legacy-Window-8182021-93731-AM-570x322.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lakesidenews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Chrome-Legacy-Window-8182021-91844-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27760\" src=\"http:\/\/lakesidenews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Chrome-Legacy-Window-8182021-91844-AM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rapidly changing, complexity and immediate needs of the incident have prevented assessing the quantity of resources resulting in no reported changes to the documented numbers in this update.
