Aircraft up -- but not dropping water

Although planes may have been up in the air for observation earlier today, none are currently up dropping water, said Sgt. Don Atkinson of the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department.

"I don't believe they're actively dropping water; they're staged right now. But because no residences are currently threatened at the moment, they're [letting] the center burn, and they're saving their water resources for if the fire starts to break out of that containment line," Atkinson said.
