USFS set to pile burn on South and West Shores

U.S. Forest Service fuels management crews will conduct prescribed fire operations near Taylor Creek on Lake Tahoe’s South Shore and on Alice Lane in the Meeks Bay area of the West Shore on Oct. 26.

Each area is approximately one-quarter acre.

On Oct. 28, prescribed fire operations will take place in the Timberland area of the West Shore, weather permitting.
