Submitted by paula on Thu, 10/08/2015 - 7:01pmIt's once again the season to enjoy a fire in our fireplaces and wood burning stoves, but that also means it's time again to remind everyone how to dispose of the resulting ashes.

When you add in Douglas and El Dorado counties, that number gets much higher.

2015 Lake Tahoe Basin fire season update
Submitted by paula on Wed, 09/09/2015 - 11:03pmEarly in 2015, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), as well as our partners at the National Weather Service, predicted 2015 to be a significant year for wildland fires throughout the Western States. A combination of a sustained period of drought, coupled with weather that is conducive to nearly perfect burning conditions, have challenged local firefighting resources.

This year will go down as one of the most hazardous years for wildland fire.
