Expect smoke from controlled burns
The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and the U.S. Forest Service will continue prescribed fire operations in the Round Hill, Zephyr Heights, Incline Village, Slaughterhouse Canyon, Christmas Valley, Ward Canyon, McKinney Rubicon areas and on various urban lots near Heavenly.
Operations will last through the next several weeks as conditions allow.
Smoke from prescribed fire operations is normal and may continue for several days after an ignition depending on the project size.
Before prescribed fire operations are conducted, the agencies post road signs around areas affected by prescribed fire, send email notifications and update the local fire information line at 530.543.2600, No. 6. To receive prescribed fire notifications, send an email to pa_ltbmu@fs.fed.us.
