Genoa, Nev. — The Red Cross Caldor Fire evacuation shelters at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center and the Reno Livestock Events Center officially closed on Monday night. There are some Tahoe residents displaced by the fire, still, but with most of South Lake Tahoe open they can be closer to home.
Firefighters are making good progress on both the Caldor and Dixie fires. The Caldor is 67 percent contained as of last report while firefighters have a line around three-quarters on the Dixie Fire. Nearly 2,000 firefighters demobilized off the Dixie Fire while 403 have moved off the Caldor Fire.

Expect sunny skies and a high near 87 degrees today with the wind calm picking up to around 5 mph out of the north this afternoon. We’ve yet to have a freeze, so far, but low temperatures are supposed to drop into the upper 30s on Sunday.
