Three wildland fires have burned on the South Shore in a 24-hour period.

Late this afternoon the U.S. Forest Service was busy with a quarter-acre fire in Rabe Meadow in Stateline. The cause is under investigation. Tahoe Douglas crews were first on the scene to suppress the fire.

The other blaze on Oct. 9 was contained to 10 feet x 10 feet. An abandoned camp fire on private land near Genoa Peak started that fire.

On Oct. 8 crews worked a fire that afternoon in Van Sickle Bi-state Park. It was a quarter-acre in size. The cause is under investigation.

Investigators are still pursuing an arsonist in the area who they believe has set a slew of fires on state and federal lands in the South Shore since late summer.
