2010 Lake Tahoe Wildfire Awareness Week
Jun 21, 2010 (17:52:00)
Lake Tahoe Wildfire Awareness Week is July 3rd through July 11th 2010. This year, local fire and conservation agencies in the Lake Tahoe Basin, together with the cooperative extensions of the California and Nevada University systems will hold their own Wildfire Awareness Week. This week occurs after the traditional California and Nevada Wildfire Awareness Weeks in early May, primarily due to the later fire season and the number of second home owners who customarily arrive in time for the Fourth of July.
The Tahoe Douglas Fire District will be the site of the 1st annual Wildfire Awareness Summit at Harvey’s Resort and Casino on July 9th. Registration for the Summit is free, but limited. The agenda and registration information for the Summit can be found here: http://www.livingwithfire.info/pdf/Tahoe%20Summit%20Agenda.pdf.
The Fire District will also be holding an open house and fuels reduction project tour at the Zephyr Cove Fire Station, 875 Hwy. 50 on July 11th from 9:00am to noon. Please come join us for refreshments, tours of the Fire Station, and an interpretive walk through one of our completed fuels reduction projects between the Tahoe Douglas Senior Center and George Whittell High School.
For more information on these activities, or Wildfire Awareness Week in general call 775-588-3591.
