The fire of the Caldor at Sierra Nevada North has destroyed dozens of houses, and the authorities on Friday closed down 46 miles (74 kilometers) from Interstate 50, the main route between the state capital of Sacramento and Lake Tahoe in the state of Nevada lines.
The highway is closed after the debris from the flame falls to the road and because of the red flag warning for wind 20 to 30 mph (32 to 48-kph) which on Saturday night `combined with very dry fuel will produce critical fire weather conditions Around Caldor Fire, ” national weather service said.
The wind can blow up to 40 mph (65 kph) Saturday.
The road is the main checkpoint when the crew struggled against the fire, which erupted earlier this week and grew up to 10 times in a few days, driven by the wind.
“ We will invest everything we can to hold the South API ‘on the road, said Eric Schwab, head of operations operations with Cal Fire.
Firefighters made progress on the west side of fire and burned vegetation to make them hunger of fuel and prevent fire from going into the evacuated pollock pines community.
On the northeast side, the crew protected the cabin in the dense forest area, the fire official said.
