Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit to Begin Prescribed Fires

The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is planning prescribed fire operations beginning as early as Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, pending all required approvals. We estimate this work to continue through the fall and winter as weather conditions allow. We use prescribed fires to help reduce overgrown vegetation to help protect local communities, infrastructure and natural resources from wildfires. Full story: tinyurl.com/4jnk33ca.
