Submitted by paula on Thu, 01/30/2014 - 11:54am
A Wednesday night house fire in South Lake Tahoe has turned into a criminal investigation.
South Lake Tahoe Police officers and fire fighters responded to a residential fire in the 1100 block of Long Valley Avenue at 6:10 pm. They found the home fully engulfed in flames with fire starting to spread to nearby trees, though they were able to contain the fire to the area of the burning home. It appears the house is likely to be a total loss.
The house has received the attention of the police and fire department prior to Wednesday night's fire.
