North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District’s fuels crew will continue the hazardous fuels reduction project in the Davis Creek Park area (just south of Davis Creek Regional Park) on Nov. 17.

Also weather permitting, on Nov. 19 the crews anticipate beginning pile burning in the North Canyon area near Spooner. This 80-acre project will go into the middle of next week, again weather permitting.

This project is a cooperative effort between North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District, Washoe County Parks Department and Nevada Division of Forestry.

The debris or “slash” piles were created as a result of a hazardous fuels reduction and defensible space project earlier this year, to help minimize the risk of wildland fires in the area.
