Don’t allow holiday decorations to become fire hazard
Now that the holidays are over, the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department would like to remind everyone that they should be aware of the potentially explosive hazard of a dried out Christmas tree in your home.
Do not try to burn your tree in the fireplace, even if it is chopped into small pieces. Trees left next to curb on trash pick up day will be removed free of charge by the South Tahoe Refuse.
Outdoor Christmas lights look great during the holidays, but should also be removed to prevent damage from freezing weather that could cause short circuits.
Thanks for continuing to be fire safe.
— Sallie Ross-Filgo, South Lake Tahoe Fire Department
NOTHING is free of charge at South Tahoe Refuse.
Mandatory that you have trash service.
South Tahoe fire department provides crappy service and the guys have big attitudes.
How dare you to say such bad things about the fire department here in Lake Tahoe, Have you ever been in a fire,? OR put your self on the life of others ? SHAME ON YOU.
