As Caldor Fire remains active, snow falls in South Lake Tahoe
Lake-effect snow fell in South Lake Tahoe, California, dusting the area on Monday, October 11, as firefighters continued to battle the Caldor Fire in the region.
The Caldor Fire had scorched 221,775 acres (about 347 square miles) and was 98 percent contained as of Monday, according to fire officials.
A red flag warning was in effect for the fire’s impacted area until Tuesday evening as northeast winds were expected to develop, officials said.
This footage was filmed by San Bernardino County Fire Department PIO Marc Peebles. “A little snow coming down on the Caldor Fire,” he wrote in a tweet. “Not supposed to last long though, but it’s a good start!”
