U.S. Forest Service fuels management crews will continue prescribed fire operations in multiple locations in the Lake Tahoe Basin on April 4.

Crews expect to burn approximately 10 acres in the South Lake Tahoe area near Mewuk Drive, and approximately 5 acres in the Tahoe City area near Bunker Drive. Both operations may continue through the week, weather and conditions permitting.

Residents and visitors can expect to see smoke from these prescribed fire project areas. The Forest Service strives to minimize the impacts of smoke on local communities. Smoke-sensitive residents should consider staying indoors and keeping doors, windows and outside vents closed.
