He moved here as a young child from his native Jalisco, Mexico, where many of South Lake's Latino residents come from. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/southlaketahoecitycalifornia\">Latino community here, which has grown markedly in recent years\u003c/a>, now accounts for more than 30% of the city's population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mora, who on Tuesday was sheltering at the Carson City Community Center, said if the area is hit hard by the fire, he'll likely have to relocate in search of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it burns, it's going to be hard, a lot of years to recover, and it's not going to be the same,\" he said. \"It's going to take years to be where we're at right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Tuesday morning, the Caldor Fire had burned over 191,607 acres, destroyed at least 669 structures, and was 16% contained.

The blaze, which has now charred more than 186,500 acres and is only 15% contained, continues to pose a serious threat to the basin amid a red flag warning due to higher winds and exceptionally dry conditions. That \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NWSSacramento/status/1432410570955706376?s=20\">warning has been extended until 11 p.m. Wednesday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearer air in the area allowed some aircraft to provide much-needed support from above on Monday, Bogan said, with firefighters on the ground continuing to chase spot fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further south, along the fire's southeastern flank, crews were unable to keep the blaze from jumping Highway 88 for the first time, into Amador County. The fire jumped the highway approximately two miles west of Kirkwood, and was pushing eastward toward the resort area. Kirkwood was placed under mandatory evacuation orders on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Highway 88 corridor got hit pretty hard today,” Bogan said, noting that bulldozers were digging line to try to cut it off and “get it tamed back” onto the north side of the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Monday's positive developments: Firefighters have been successful in protecting the town of Strawberry, which just days earlier was under imminent threat, Bogan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything through Strawberry’s looking a lot better now. They’re continuing to mop up around structures and trying to secure things,” he said of the community that lies along Highway 50 on the western side of the pass, east of Twin Bridges. “As of right now, there’s been no structure loss in the Strawberry area that we are aware of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bogan also called it “a very successful day” in the southwestern sections of the fire, near where it first ignited two weeks ago, with crews making steady containment gains. That progress prompted officials late Monday to downgrade evacuation orders to warnings in several nearby areas close to Omo Ranch Road, near the Amador/El Dorado County line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conditions, he added, were also “looking real good” heading northeast toward the Pollock Pines area, with “no real issues at all to report,” although evacuation orders there remained in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated 3 p.m. Monday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 22,000 South Lake Tahoe residents were ordered to evacuate late Monday morning as the Caldor Fire continued its rapid advance eastward, crossing Echo Summit and threatening to extend further into the Tahoe basin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's something that's always in the back of your mind that you hope never happens,\" said South Lake Mayor Pro Tem Devin Middlebrook, who evacuated late Sunday night. \"But here we are today, with this threat to our community.

The fire remained only 14% contained, down from 19% containment earlier this weekend, after rapid growth on the northeast and southern edges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By midday Monday, the fire had breached several points along the ridge and begun its descent into the basin, reaching spots around Lower Echo Lake and parts of Desolation Wilderness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there's fire in the basin,\" Cal Fire Chief Thom Porter reported solemnly at a Monday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Caldor is a real tough one for us,\" he said, noting the steep challenges firefighters face controlling the northeastern edge's side of the massive blaze, which continues to churn through rugged, difficult-to-reach terrain. \"It's been burning in heavy timber, just very, very difficult conditions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter said last week's inversion layer in the atmosphere, which helped keep a lid on the fire, disappeared yesterday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the air clears, it's like taking the lid off of your pot of boiling water — all of a sudden there's that plume of heat and steam that comes out. Same thing happens on a fire,\" he said. \"Also sucks in oxygen from all directions, puts fire and spot fires in all directions. That's what happened yesterday.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials are still assessing last night’s damage in the El Dorado County communities the fire swept through, including the Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resort, where snowmaking equipment had been activated in the hopes of gaining some protection from the blaze.

But without adequate staffing and with changing weather conditions, firefighters found themselves playing defense over the weekend, fire officials said — not so much stopping the spread, as working to save structures from the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwab said that in the last two weeks, the Caldor Fire's perimeter had advanced less than a half mile, but on Sunday the perimeter \"moved about 2 1/2 miles on us with no sign it's slowing down.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those conditions, Schwab said, fire crews moved to their No. 1 priority: evacuating people and preserving life. Much of their defense of structures was around Highway 50 and the Kirkwood Mountain Resort, with 25 strike teams of engines, 25 bulldozers and 25 hand crews set to defend nearby structures Sunday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the wind blows like this, our primary modes are one — hold onto what we have,\" Schwab said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A favorable turn in weather Saturday afternoon allowed firefighters to make progress and increase containment of the fire to 19%, up from 12% the day before, said Capt. Stephen Horner, a Cal Fire spokesperson for the Caldor Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sunday's effort was far more of a struggle, with crews having to carry hoses by hand through rough terrain.

Journalist Pendarvis Harshaw takes us to galleries painted on the sides of liquor stores in West Oakland. We'll dance in warehouses in the Bayview, make smoothies with kids in South Berkeley, and listen to classical music in a 1984 Cutlass Supreme in Richmond. Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
