Another Fire


There is another fire in the Tahoe basin. This one is much closer to home, but not too close. Initial reports put the fire in Meek's Bay and even in the Homewood area, but those were incorrect. The fire is about 5 miles north of us. We've been listening to the fire trucks coming up from the south and watching the helicopters and fixed wing aircraft do their thing all afternoon. I I took this photo from the kitchen window. I don't think we are in any danger from this fire, but this is very close to home. Highway 89, the main road to get anywhere for us, is closed because of the fire. In the last hour, it appears to us that things have improved, so hopefully that is the case.
