Fire Season Declared 2022 – Burn Restrictions in Effect
On May 19, 2022, CALFIRE NEU suspended burn permits for the season, and on Monday, May 24, 2022 CALFIRE AEU followed suit, resulting in full suspension of residential burn permits in the Tahoe Basin. These are the triggers that prompt North Tahoe Fire Protection District (NTFPD), Meeks Bay Fire Protection District (MBFPD), and Alpine Springs County Water District (ASCWD) to activate local fire restrictions that suspend the outdoor burning of solid fuels, including wood and charcoal. The suspension takes effect Wednesday, June 1, 2022, and remains in effect for the duration of fire season.
