Lake Tahoe Psychic didn’t see this coming – a fire Thursday morning that caused between $5,000 and $10,000.

South Lake Tahoe Fire Marshal Ray Zachau said the fire started when the heater came on because of the combustible papers and books stacked on it.

The call came in just before 8am. Fire crews were all leaving by 8:30am.

Zachau credits the police officers for knocking down the bulk of the fire by smashing out the back window and using a fire extinguisher.

No one was in the building when the fire broke out.
