Firefighters quick to put out Incline brush fire

Flames were shooting high into the air early Tuesday morning in Incline Village.

North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District personnel are still trying to figure out how the brush fire started.

It was reported at 3:17am July 2 at 400 Fairview Blvd. Firefighters were able to contain it to about one-half acre.

Firefighters said the neighbor’s defensible space helped keep the fire from spreading farther.

Anyone with information is asked to call Assistant Fire Marshal Mark Regan at (775) 461.6200.
