SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – An unscheduled prescribed burn at Fallen Leaf Lake on Thursday was the cause of concern from many Lake Tahoe area residents as smoke could be seen for miles.
Fire officials from the USFS Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit were in the area to do test burns for a future ignition when they found the conditions to be right to start their 50-acre project of burning hand piles along Fallen Leaf Lake Road near South Lake Tahoe.
