SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Effective Saturday, November 1 at 8:00 a.m., South Lake Tahoe Fire Chief Jim Drennan is lifting the ban on the use of charcoal for BBQs in the South Lake Tahoe city limits.
Residents may continue to use propane, pellets, liquid petroleum, and now charcoal for BBQ cooking.
Important reminder: Open flame burning with wood is never allowed within the City limits, at any time of the year, except in the designated fire rings at Campground by the Lake.
As winter approaches, the threat of wildfire diminishes but remains present. Make sure your property has proper defensible space with at least 5 feet of clearance around your home to give it the best chance of survival in the event of a wildfire.
