A fire inside a house on Grizzly Mountain Drive in Meyers was able to be extinguished quickly on Sunday morning.

Lake Valley firefighters were called out because neighbors saw smoke on Aug. 20. When they arrived at the residence the two occupants were putting out the fire.

They had had a fire in the fireplace on Saturday night. Overnight items close to the fireplace caught on fire.

“If you are going to start using fireplaces in the evenings, make sure they are cleaned out and you don’t put material in front of them,” firefighter Perry Quinn told Lake Tahoe News.
