I was hesitant to opine on unconfirmed but credible rumors earlier, but it unfortunately appears that the lightning-sparked #6-5Fire has indeed destroyed most of town of Chinese Camp. Other fires are threatening communities tonight. #CAwx #CAfire
Most of Chinese Camp has burned to the ground, according to Chronicle photojournalist @stephenlamphoto.bsky.social. Some residents of the historic Gold Rush town stayed to fight the blaze, despite evacuation orders.
