Controlled Burning Around Lake Tahoe
Officials plan to set fire to vegetation around Lake Tahoe starting from October 28, 2025.
The Lake Tahoe Basin, surrounded by the Sierra Nevada mountains, has a buildup of fuel from decades of fire suppression, including abandoned bonfires, leafmold, rotting trees, and dead underbrush.
The area is a hotbed of fuel accumulated over decades, carving flammable pockets within the forest that tend to erupt without warning.
According to the USDA Forest Service, controlled fires will be initiated to prevent the risk of larger, uncontrolled wildfires.
The goal is to reduce the risk of uncontrolled wildfires by burning off fuel in a controlled manner.
- Controlled burning will start on October 28, 2025
