Cal Fire and El Dorado and Amador Fire personnel responded to one of the first local wildland fires of the season last Tuesday near Camino. The fire started with a controlled debris burn that escaped and ignited five acres of leaves and debris. The fire did not cause a significant amount of damage to the burned area, however, if there had been structures nearby it could have easily caused significant damage. As the dangers of fire season grow more perilous, Cal Fire is reminding citizens to take all necessary prevention measures, particularly when it comes to fires started by controlled burns. These reminders include not burning on windy days, never leaving a fire unattended, making sure you have a shovel and hose in sight and keeping pile sizes to a maximum of four feet by four feet.
