The Executive Director of the California-Nevada United Methodist Foundation was among the El Dorado County residents threatened with evacuation when a 10-acre wildfire erupted early this afternoon on Meyers Road in Camino, off 8 Mile Road. It had reportedly jumped Highway 50, Caltrans District 3 said on Twitter, in announcing that the highway was closed in both directions at the 8 Mile Road location. UMF Executive Director Susan Peters was among residents told to prepare to leave her home as the sheriff’s department began evacuations, but in her case the fire’s forward spread was stopped before she was forced to go. At 3 p.m. Peters reported water was still being dropped from the sky, but the smoke had cleared measurably. With wildfire season still well underway, Peters says, “My advice to everybody is, have your emergency kit all packed!”
