Prescribed fire planned for tomorrow, Friday, near Stampede Reservoir in the Tahoe National Forest. 
The Forest Service, Truckee Ranger District, is planning to burn 83 acres of understory vegetation near Stampede Reservoir tomorrow, Friday. The prescribed fire will only take place if weather, fuel conditions and smoke dispersal remains favorable. We will be monitoring weather and fuel conditions throughout the day to ensure we are "in prescription".
There are only a handful of days when weather, smoke dispersion and fuel conditions are favorable for prescribed fire so we take advantage of those days; it's a very small window of opportunity. I have attached a short read on the benefits of prescribed fire. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to call. Thank you.
