The county's Homeless Outreach Team routinely visits encampments to offer services while assessing fire danger. On a recent visit, Sgt. Josh Sprague and Deputy Joe Camarillo walked through a well-established camp nestled in dry brush, stopping to ask unhoused individuals if they needed help or other county services.
"If you take a look right here, you can see all the burned and old shrubs," Sgt. Sprague said, pointing to charred trees and undergrowth, a stark reminder of a past encampment fire that spread quickly before being contained.
Officials say there is a growing number of tents, despite the availability of housing resources. A statement from the county sent to CBS13 reads:
"The law enforcement action is the last thing," said Sgt. Kyle Parker, spokesperson for the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office. "We want to get people the help they need."
"One small spark can spread, and now we have a much bigger issue," Sgt. Parker said.
