The Fire District reviews cold water and boating safety for Lake Tahoe as summer begins. Because Tahoe is an alpine lake, water stays cold year-round, raising risks of cold water shock, swim failure, and hypothermia.

The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District joins a fire ban prohibiting charcoal and campfire use in Incline Village and Crystal Bay, effective May 24, 2021, citing dry conditions and elevated fire danger. The ban includes IVGID parks and beaches.
