Prescribed Fire season usually lasts well into the winter months while multiple public land management agencies may be burning on their properties. During these times, you may see smoke and flames on various project sites around the North Tahoe area. Please contact the agency responsible for the prescribed burn for more information or contact our Forest Fuels Office at 530-546-2212 to be placed on our burn notification list or to learn more about our proposed prescribed fire projects.
The NTFPD is committed to providing our constituents
with the highest possible level of fire protection
and suppression services available. While we may at times assist
other districts, counties, or agencies during an emergency
when needed, our own firefighting resources are ready to
respond within the District with appropriate personnel and equipment
at all times.
