Lightning ignites 4 small forest fires in Tahoe

Published: July 21, 2014 By: admin, In: News, 1 Comment

Lightning on Sunday caused four small fires in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

U.S. Forest Service crews are responding this morning.

“They all either involve a single tree or a small fire on the ground,” USFS spokeswoman Lisa Herron told Lake Tahoe News.

None is larger than 10 feet by 10 feet.

One is at the top of Gunbarrel at Heavenly Mountain Resort, one is in the Gondola Fire scar area and two are in the roadless area near Logan Creek.

Make that 5! I was backpacking at Dardenelles lake and lightning struck 50 feet above our heads, hitting a cedar tree 100 yards away. It caught the tree on fire and rutted the ground where it grounded out. Scary as heck.
