Original story:
The fast-growing Walker Fire in Calaveras County has prompted an evacuation warning for an area east of the town of Angels Camp.
The American Red Cross has opened evacuation centers at the Copperopolis Community Center located at 695 Main Street in Copperopolis and at Mountain Oaks School located at 150 Oak Street, off Pool Station Road, in San Andreas.
Calaveras County OES says they have only issued a warning to evacuate and that residents do not have to leave their homes if they do not want to at this time. However, officials want residents to be prepared to evacuate if conditions change.
The Walker Fire first flared up near Walker Trail Road and Hogan Dam Road, just north of Copperopolis and about 55 miles to the southeast of Sacramento, Tuesday afternoon.
According to the latest numbers from CAL FIRE, the fire had burned 1,100 acres and is at 10% containment. Approximately 300 firefighters were called in to battle the blaze.
So far, there have been no reports of injuries nor have there been reports of any structures being damaged or destroyed. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
A Red Flag Warning was issued for 14 counties including all Northern California valleys starting Tuesday at 11 p.m. and running until at least 1 p.m. on Thursday unless fire conditions continue.
While most of the state is under the Red Flag Warning, PG&E is not planning a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) but they are monitoring conditions.
