California State Parks, Lake Valley, North Lake Tahoe and Tahoe Douglas fire protection districts and the U.S. Forest Service are scheduled to conduct prescribed fire operations. 

Weather permitting, operations are scheduled to take place at D.L. Bliss State Park, the west side of Incline Village and west of the First Creek drainage, upper and lower Kingsbury Grade, off Pioneer Trail near Marshall Trail and Powerline Road, north of Lake Tahoe Airport and south of Christmas Valley. 

Fall and winter bring cooler temperatures and precipitation, which favor prescribed burning. 

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