9/17-9/18/2020 Red Flag Warning Declaration – Very High Fire Danger
The Tahoe Basin is under Red Flag/Critical Fire Weather Warning from 1:00 p.m. today until 11:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, September 18, 2020. We appreciate your help in sharing the word about the high fire danger during these conditions. We need to be extremely cautious not to create any type of spark. While wood and charcoal are banned during fire season, under Red Flag Weather conditions no outdoor open flames are permitted, including gas and propane fire pits/grills or pellet grills/smokers. Thank you for helping us to spread the word to our residents and visitors. We encourage anyone who sees an illegal fire to call it in to 911 with a description of whether it is under control or not so that only the necessary resources are dispatched, and as a reminder outdoor burning of wood and charcoal are never permitted at short-term rentals in eastern Placer County.
