Raw: Mosquito Fire flare-up causes large column of smoke
Evacuation orders have expanded amid windy conditions for the wildfire that forced evacuations in both Placer and El Dorado counties. The community of Stumpy Meadows was ordered to evacuate Tuesday afternoon by the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office because of the Mosquito Fire. The boundaries for the evacuated area are east of Stumpy Meadows, west of Wentworth Springs Road and the Ice Hours Road intersection. That also includes south of the El Dorado-Placer county border north of Onion Creek. In Placer County, the Yankee Jims and Shirttail Canyon areas were also forced to evacuate Tuesday afternoon. This includes south of Big Dipper through Kings Hill and through Black Bear and Grills Hill.
