Safety of Incline area VHRs called into question
By Kim Burrows, KRNV-TV
Lake Tahoe is a popular place to rent a house on a short-term basis to hit the ski slopes in the winter and play on the beach in the summer.
But the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District is worried about the safety in some houses. The danger has already cost a teen his life.
People can choose from thousands of rental homes around the lake. Online websites advertise that the homes can sleep 16, 18 and 20 people. But fire officials say it’s not always safe.
