A wall of flames from the Caldor Fire roared over Echo Summit at Highway 50 Monday evening, racing down the mountainside toward the Lake Tahoe Basin where thousands of residents were forced to flee..
Mayor Tamara Wallace says she's surprised that the fire jumped a large area of granite -- something she didn't think was possible. There's no timeframe of when residents can return home.
