The community of Grizzly Flats in El Dorado County, a once wooded area where roughly 1,200 people called home, is hardly recognizable now. The Caldor Fire burned through many of its neighborhoods and businesses, leaving mostly debris. The fire hit Grizzly Flats on Tuesday and though not every home was destroyed, it took a toll on those who call the area home. The area remained closed off to residents and traffic on Wednesday; only emergency crews and media were visible throughout the day.Some residents reached out to KCRA 3 concerned about their homes, asking for information and wondering how the community looks now.At another evacuation site near Sly Park Road, some residents left for the first time in decades. Lina Sepulveda and her husband have lived in the area for 27 years."We had to leave our home and it wasn't an easy thing. We got emotional but our home is still there. We keep praying that this goes soon," Sepulveda said.Dave Lanthier, who spent the night in Sacramento, came back to try to get to his home this morning but found a roadblock just a couple of miles away from his home. While the wildfire hasn't reached his home, Lanthier is choosing to stay positive."It's all in God's hands," Lanthier said. "We can't do anything about it. I'm more worried about the vandals."| RELATED | 'It was getting too close for comfort': Caldor Fire evacuees rush to escape flamesAs the wildfire grows and spreads, emergency crews are closing off more roads to make transporting their firefighting equipment an easier process.
