Photo by lynseyaddario / Heather Kirkendall, 27, a firefighter with calfire puts out hot spots near California's Carson Pass and the Kirkwood ski resort, on September 1. The Caldor fire started on August 14, burning through 222,000 acres (90,000 ha) before being 100% contained in late October. With increasing levels of drought across the state, fires are more intense and burn for longer periods of time.
