Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home cooking fires, according to NFPA. The District shares kitchen safety steps, including staying with food while it cooks and keeping children away from hot surfaces and liquids.

The Tahoe Fire & Fuels Team will resume fall and winter prescribed fire operations around Lake Tahoe after the Thanksgiving holiday, conditions permitting. Smoke will be present. Project locations are posted at tahoelivingwithfire.com.
