South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue responded to a roof collapse at the corner of 3rd Street and South Street Wednesday morning.

A portion of the roof collapsed due in part to lack of maintenance and the snow and rain load it experienced this winter. The home was not occupied and the out-of-town home owner was already planning to work on the home/lot this summer.

Even though snow has melted off many roofs in the Lake Tahoe area, damage can still be experienced as seen on this home with a flat roof.
