Gann Fire Forces Evacuations and School Closures | Oakland News
Description
Smoke from the raging Gann Fire blankets Calaveras County, forcing all schools to shut down and triggering evacuation orders near New Hogan Lake as firefighters battle flames fueled by dry brush, heat, and rugged terrain. Helicopters aided overnight with controlled burns, and containment numbers were finally reported Wednesday morning—thanks to no injuries or property damage so far. The smoke’s drifted into Amador County, prompting air quality warnings. Evacuees can find shelter at Valley Springs Veterans Memorial for small pets or the Calaveras County Fairgrounds for livestock, with officials urging immediate action for those in affected zones stretching from northeast New Hogan Lake to Salt Spring Valley Reservoir.
