CALIFORNIA, USA — The Caldor Fire continues to burn in El Dorado County, marching east toward Lake Tahoe.
The wildfire has also impacted the counties of El Dorado, Alpine and Amador in California as evacuations and the threat of wildfire force people from their homes. According to Cal Fire, the Caldor Fire started east of Omo Ranch and south of Grizzly Flats. A cause for the blaze is still unknown.
As thousands leave their homes and are left to wonder if they will have a home to come back to when the fire inevitably ends, a host of resources for people impacted by the fire has become available.
