Firefighters from the South Shore jumped on an early morning fire behind Meek's Lumber on Lake Tahoe Blvd. Friday.
At 3:02 a.m., people driving by saw the flames and called 911. South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue responded along with Tahoe Douglas Fire, resulting in two engines, medics, an ambulance and battalion chief at the scene.
This fire was burning at the same time as the Emerald Fire off of Highway 89 in the Spring Creek area.
One acre burned and the crews were released just before 6:00 a.m.
The cause of the fire, as with all others recently on the South Shore, is under investigation.
