SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - With the support of South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue (SLTFR), the Al Tahoe neighborhood has begun the process of becoming a certified Firewise USA ® recognized neighborhood.
As part of the application process, SLTFR and Al Tahoe community volunteers will be walking in the Al Tahoe neighborhood October 27-30 and performing random wildfire risk assessment/evaluations on 20 percent of the 1520 properties from the street.
The volunteers will have bright yellow vests on so they can be easily identified
This assessment is all part of the goal for the Al Tahoe neighborhood to become a Fire Safe Community.
On the South Shore, only Golden Bear is a Firewise USA ® recognized neighborhood. In February they finished the process that started with a neighborhood meeting in 2018.
