Take a look at the damage caused by the fire at Placerville Airport.  Mark shows you all the details.

Someone accused us of being "click bait."  So, to be clear, there was no nuclear explosion at Placerville Airport.  I just put that in there to be funny.  If you watch this video, expecting a nuclear explosion, you will be disappointed and we'd like to send you back to school for a critical thinking class. - Don the Camera Guy.
