Dear Editor, Residents in the Al Tahoe Firewise community and throughout the Tahoe Basin have worked extremely hard to reduce combustible fuels on their properties in order to mitigate the risk of wildfires. Every spring and summer, with the help of South Tahoe Refuse’s current weekly pickup practices, we have cleared multiple bags or cans of pine needles and cones, vegetation, and tree limbs in order to protect our homes and the community from wildfires. This fuel reduction also qualifies our nationally recognized Firewise district for fire insurance discounts.
