El Dorado

Burn scars include those from the Bridge, Line, Apple, El Dorado and Airport fires that burned over the last five years.

The mudslide that hit Cedar Falls Road included parts of a five-year-old burn scar from the El Dorado fire, according to Caltrans.

On Aug. 17, four days before the standoff on Butler Avenue, deputies from the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office found a bear inside an ice-cream store in South Lake Tahoe and snapped a photo.

The next day, he was booked into the El Dorado County Jail for two counts of homicide and is being held on no bail.

The most recent case before this one was reported in El Dorado County in 2020 and also was believed to have been transmitted in the same area, officials said.
