A Cal Fire captain was arrested on two homicide counts after a woman and a young boy were fatally shot in their Cameron Park home.
Residents of the Sierra Nevada foothills have been put on warning because of a wildfire burning near the footprint of the devastating 2021 Caldor Fire. The Coyote Fire was reported around 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20, about 6 miles north of Volcano. By Thursday morning, it had burned 624 acres, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. An evacuation warning remains in place for an area east of Coyoteville, from Omo Ranch to Farnham Ridge Road, the El Dorado County sheriff's office said.
