Authorities allege they caused homes to burn and people to be seriously injured in the fire that began in August. The Caldor fire scorched more than 346 square miles from east of Sacramento to the Nevada border, threatening ski resorts and other prominent recreational areas. It was one of two massive fires last summer that for the first time in modern history crossed the Sierra Nevada range.
