The Calaveras County fire
broke out just before the Amador fire after a debris burn became unmanageable. Ironically the location of this fire
was only two to three miles from the CAL FIRE Emergency Command Center on
Mountain Ranch Rd. in San Andreas. CAL FIRE responded with four air tankers, two
helicopters, two water tenders, a dozer and five ground teams including two
truckloads of Sierra Conservation Center fire base camp inmates. Crews remained
on both fires Saturday and continued checking for hot spots all weekend. The
fire was 100 percent contained by 7:30pm.
