There are several RVs still parked in the Indian Hills Walmart lot on Monday.
A few evacuees remain in the Topsy Lane Walmart parking lot on Labor Day morning.
Portable toilets, a food truck and a pop-up cell phone store, the site near the junction of highways 395 and 50 is providing some shelter to people displaced by the Caldor Fire.
Lake Tahoe evacuees from Douglas returned to their homes from the Douglas County Community & Senior Center on Saturday and most South Lake Tahoe residents returned to their homes on Sunday.
Lyon County announced on Monday that it was closing its sites at Dayton and Yerington after receiving no evacuees.
Officially, the fire grew less than 1,000 acres over the last 24 hours to 216,358 acres, according to the Inciweb site.
That minimal growth is borne out by satellite mapping which shows most of the active fire has remained within the perimeter.
Two of the locations for the last South Lake Tahoe evacuations, Meyers and Christmas Valley, saw the fire creep and smolder in the interior as crews improved containment line and patrolled structures.
The Caldor Fire burned to within three miles of Douglas County, but has yet to make it into the Silver State. The speed with which the fire blasted over Echo Summit led to evacuations of the Lake Tahoe Basin in South Lake Tahoe and Douglas County. It was the first time in memory that a mandatory evacuation was implemented in Douglas ahead of a wildfire.
