Fires @ North Tahoe Regional Park, Tahoe Vista

[Hairfarmr]

These fires apparently have all been on the disc golf course....just wanted to inform you that there was a fire started last Tuesday evening (doubles night) at Tahoe Vista, hole #3. A cigarette started it. This is the third fire that was started by a smoker at the park. We may lose the course due to this incident. This is an absolutely no smoking course.

As smoker myself this disgusts me.... remember we live in a tinder box this time of year so get the word out Folks NO SMOKING on the trails !!!

any locals in the area that give a better heads up on these incidents ???

Well a large part of our State went up in flames and the heat radiation killed people 150 yards away. Whole towns, and their entire population, were vaporised. One newsreader's farm was cleared of trees and buttressed with earthworks ... and it got him. Luckily snow guns saved ski resorts and chairlifts too. Be careful in the Sierras.

I carry a portable ashtray. They were handed out by Mt Buller for free as a marketing tool and to stop butts appearing everywhere when the snow melts. Best of all, they seal well so your pockets don't stink. And you can't be too careful.

Cheers
