7 Fires Between Jackson & Pardee Lake: Crews Still On Scene
Yesterday at approximately
3pm Camino Dispatch received reports of multiple vegetation fires in the area
between of Stony Creek Road
about a half a mile after Argonaut High school and Pardee Lake.
A short time later at least 2 more fires that we know of were reported- one on
Hurricane Hill and another at the Martell Y in front of the Panda House
Restaurant. Those two fires were extinguished quickly. Crews from all across
the county and even neighboring Calaveras responded to the Stony Creek and
Pardee area. Jackson Valley

Fire Departments, Jackson City Crews, Sutter Creek Fire, Pine Grove, hand crews
from Pine Grove Camp and Growlersburg, MCSP crews, Tuolumne-Calaveras Units,
and EB MUD, all responded in force. Helicopters and dozers were quickly called
to the scene. Even local residents were doing their part with their sprinklers
running and shovels in hand.
As of the last report from Camino dispatch there were a total of 7 fires
between Jackson and Pardee Lake.

Burn Permits Now Required
The Amador-El Dorado Unit of the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection CAL FIRE is reminding residents that burning permits are
required as of May 1 every year and that they are free at local fire stations.
Keep in mind if the fire were to escape your control and/or burn the property
of someone else, you could face civil liability and/or criminal charges. As in
past years, the public should expect that burn permits will be suspended in the
near future as weather and fuel conditions change.

Employee of the Rite of Passage School Arrested
An employee of the Rite of
Passage school and group home in Fricot City outside of Angel’s Camp was
arrested on a disorderly conduct charge last week after a co-worker discovered
that he had been secretly videotaping female staffers as they took showers,
according to the Calaveras County Sheriff's Department. Ross Estabrooks, 32, of
Jenny Lind was taken into custody at the San Andreas Fire Department, where he
is a volunteer, the Sheriff's Department reported to the Stockton Record. He is
being held in the County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.The Sheriff's Department
said the secret video recording came to light after a female co-worker decided
to make use of Estabrooks dorm room while he was away from work. She put what
she thought was a movie cassette into a VCR and instead saw images of a number
of female co-workers undressing, stepping into and then out of the shower. Investigators
said they have identified eight different women in the videos. They say they
believe the taping took place over a five-month period and ended in December.
They reported seizing a variety of evidence from Estabrook's room, including
pornographic videos and a camera.
