Uncomfortably close to Lake Tahoe, the Caldor Fire is now the nation’s top-priority wildfire — underscoring the potential damage it could yet unleash even as weather conditions improve and resources continue to flow to the area.

The fire, which has destroyed more than 550 buildings in El Dorado County, had ignited 106,562 acres by Monday afternoon as officials continued to sound alarms. The blaze has such destructive potential that it has jumped to the front of the line when it comes to allocating personnel, fire trucks, aircraft and other tools from around the country, Cal Fire Chief Thom Porter said during a briefing Monday.
