The Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team will resume prescribed fire operations in the basin this week, continuing over the next several weeks as conditions allow. Smoke may be visible, and a project map is available online.

The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District will lift seasonal outdoor burning restrictions on January 11, allowing open burning of pine needles, slash piles, and recreational fire pits by free permit. An inspection is required, and daily burn-day status must be checked before burning.
