Prescribed burn near Union Valley Reservoir sending smoke into Lake Tahoe Basin

Smoke from a prescribed burn on the east side of Union Valley Reservoir in the El Dorado National Forest sent smoke into the Lake Tahoe Basin Tuesday.

The U.S. Forest Service is burning 240 acres over a two-day period in that area.

Prescribed burns in the Lake Tahoe Basin were scheduled to start this week but have been postponed since the area is still under fire restrictions.
