Prescribed fires to be set throughout Tahoe

North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, the Nevada Division of Forestry and the U.S. Forest Service will continue widespread prescribed fire operations beginning the week of Nov. 30.

Operations may take place on urban lots on the west side of Incline Village, in Carnelian Bay, Kings Beach, off Fairway Drive near Tahoe City, off Elizabeth Drive north of Tahoma, off South Upper Truckee Road near Meyers, off F Street and Ski Run Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe, and in Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park north of Spooner Lake. Operations will continue over the next several weeks as weather and conditions allow.

The Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team will give as much advance notice as possible before burning, but some operations may be conducted on short notice.

Smoke from prescribed fire operations is normal and may continue for several days after an ignition depending on the project size and environmental conditions.

Before prescribed fire operations are conducted, agencies post road signs around areas affected by prescribed fire, send email notifications and update the local fire information line at 530.543.2816.
