Important Takeaways:

  • After starting as a 25-acre wildland fire in El Dorado County early on Wednesday morning the Crozier Fire is now among the 10 largest active wildland fires in California.
  • Uncommonly strong winds for the area and continued hot and dry conditions have allowed the fire to rapidly grow in size within its first day.

  • In their morning report, CAL FIRE Amador-El Dorado Unit says the fire is burning in an area of heavy timber, thick brush and that is proving difficult to access.
