Al Jazeera
The wildfire, which started on August 14, has scorched 808sq km (312sq miles) in the Lake Tahoe area.
High winds are threatening to exacerbate the Caldor Fire in California, a blaze that has already forced evacuations near Lake Tahoe and in the neighbouring state of Nevada. The National Weather Service warned on Wednesday that critical weather conditions through Wednesday could quicken the fire’s spread, as it already raced across treetops and drought-stricken vegetation. The fire remained just outside of the city of South Lake Tahoe, as firefighters attempted to stop it from spreading to the usually bustling tourist area.
