The majority of piles in the middle unit (Unit 2) were burned over the last three days completing 21 total acres (approx. 280 piles). Atmospheric conditions were in our favor and smoke was very minimal to area residents.
Approximately 1.2 acres remain and will be handled by our local Cal-Fire Engine Team. When a decent burn window opens and we can get hand crews we will continue pile burning in Unit 1 (end of Silver Pine Drive) as well as Unit 3 (adjacent to Sudan Road) on both private and California Tahoe Conservancy property. Those specifics are TBD. This map shows progress to date.
