North Lake Tahoe plans week of prescribed burns

The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District is planning to conduct a prescribed burn from Oct. 19-26, depending on proper weather conditions and fuel moisture content.

The projected areas are in the Second Creek drainage and Mill Creek subdivision.

Smoke resulting from the prescribed burns will affect the surrounding area for approximately 24 to 36 hours. People who are smoke sensitive are advised to stay inside and close their windows and doors as much as possible until the smoke dissipates.
