The Caldor Fire, a massive wildfire, is growing closer to Lake Tahoe and spurred the first evacuation warnings for those inside the Tahoe basin. On Thursday, recommendations that tourists wanting to visit the area should stay home were also made. The fire is considered the No. 1 priority nationally for firefighting resources. Right now, nearly 2,900 firefighters, 21 helicopters, 245 engines and dozens of bulldozers are battling the blaze as it grows to more than 213 square miles. As of Thursday evening, it was 12% contained. 📸 Noah Berger, @apnews #wildfire #caldorfire #laketahoe #california #tahoe #fire
