Several agencies are coming together on Saturday, June 21st for the first Wildfire Safety Expo in South Lake Tahoe.
The threat of wildfire is extremely high this fire season due to record drought conditions in the West. To provide information on creating home evacuation plans, preparing for fire, creating defensible space, the expo has been created.
The expo will be held in the TJ Maxx parking lot from noon to 3 p.m.
Participating agencies include: South Lake Tahoe Fire Department, Lake Valley Fire Protection District, US Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, CalFire, California Tahoe Conservancy, Master Gardeners, Tahoe Resource Conservation District, American Red Cross, El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department, California Conservation Corps, Lake Tahoe Humane Society, and South Tahoe Public Utility District.
There will be special appearances by Smokey Bear and Lake Tahoe Humane Society's Hopeful Henry.
