The El Dorado National Forest says they became aware of the Ice Fire around 1 p.m. Tuesday. The fire is located two miles west of the intersection at White House and White Meadows near Forest Road.

Resources being used towards the fire include a 3 Super Scooper aircraft.

The voluntary evacuations were for the White Meadows area, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
