South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue responded to a small fire behind Raley's at Stateline Sunday morning, quickly extinguishing it.
It was probably caused by an abandoned warming or cooking fire according to SLTFR Battalion Chief Karl Koeppen. He said it had probably been used a few days ago and has since been smoldering.
Koeppen said the fire wasn't very big but did spread into a tree. The scene has now been turned over to the U.S. Forest Service as it occurred on their land.
