Some of the haze and smoke over Carson City and the Truckee Meadows is coming from the Caples Fire burning near South Lake Tahoe. The Caples Fire started Sept. 30 as a controlled burn in the El Dorado National Forest. When red flag conditions were forecast, fire crews built fire lines and built backfires, which held until the winds shifted late last week, and it burned outside the prescribed burn and became a wildfire. It is west of the Kirkwood area. Containment is expected by Friday the 18th.
