(CNN)Thousands of people have been evacuated as a wildfire ignited over the weekend in Northern California tripled in size within a day and almost leveled a small town, officials said.
The Caldor fire "exploded in size Monday night," the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services tweeted Tuesday.
The fire, burning in El Dorado County, California, has charred more than 30,000 acres and is 0% contained, Cal Fire officials told CNN on Tuesday night.
"The fire continues to pose a high risk to multiple populated communities," Cal Fire said in a Tuesday update.

He lives in Grizzly Flats.
I know he got out but as for his property, 
I fear.
He's on his own and elderly.
I have no idea where he went.
