South Lake Tahoe to host Wildfire Safety Expo on May 13

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The 6th annual Wildfire Safety Expo will be held in South Lake Tahoe on Saturday, May 13 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at South Tahoe Middle School.

South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue will be hosting the annual expo. It is a free, community event that will provide information on how to be fire-safe during the upcoming wildfire season. Each year, wildfire behavior progressively becomes more ferocious. Living in a mountain town means we need to be extra vigilant with our preparedness.

Local agencies will be available to hand out preparedness information materials and other cool free giveaways. In addition, Smokey Bear will be there to greet attendees and a static display of our fire apparatus will be staged. Food trucks will be on-site with food and drinks for sale, including Sombrero’s Taco Truck and Get Rad Pizza Truck.
