Forest Service staffing nine small lightning fires around Lake Tahoe
Submitted by editor on Sun, 06/28/2015 - 12:50pmU.S. Forest Service crews are working to extinguish nine small fires resulting from last night’s lightning strikes in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
Most of the fires are single-tree fires with some ground fire, and the largest is only a half-acre in size. Winds are calm, and the Lake Tahoe Basin received substantial rainfall in the area of the fire starts, so the rate of spread is low. The Forest Service is staffing all nine fires with the assistance of Tahoe-Douglas and North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection Districts.

The crews have orders for full extinguishment, said Sgt. Pat Brooks of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Concerns are the potential for new fires starts due to the multiple lighting strikes that occurred during Saturday's storm that pushed through the valley.
