By Nevada Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources
From Southern Nevada to Lake Tahoe and all parts above and in between, state, federal, local and volunteer firefighting resources have responded to numerous lightning- and human-caused wildfires across Nevada so far this year. The state has lost about 94,000 acres to wildfire this summer, which is significantly less than the five-year average of 428,084 acres a year.
LAKE TAHOE — If another La Nina visits the Sierra this winter – all-time records were approached in 2010-11 with more than 700 inches of snow – Tahoe South ski resorts are ready to roll on another epic season.
The South Shore Lake Tahoe Labor Day Weekend Fireworks Extravaganza explodes over Lake Tahoe this Sunday, at around 8:30 p.m. and will once again famously feature spectacular patterns and a variety of lights, designs, and shapes.
