U.S. Forest Service fuels management crews will conduct prescribed fire operations at Tahoe Mountain Road and Angora Ridge Road on Lake Tahoe’s South Shore beginning Nov. 6 and possibly continuing into Nov. 7.

The project size may be up to 20 acres.

Operations will continue in the McKinney/Rubicon, Meeks Bay and Blackwood Canyon areas through early next week.

Residents and visitors can expect to see smoke from prescribed fire project areas. Smoke management is part of every prescribed fire burn plan, and efforts will be taken to reduce actual or potential smoke impacts on community areas.

This and other prescribed fire projects are designed to reduce wildfire risks to communities and critical resources. State and local fire management agencies may also be conducting prescribed fire work during this period.
