Sixteen local, state and federal agencies were recognized during Tuesday's Lake Tahoe Summit.
A proclamation signed by by Senators Dianne Feinstein, Dean Heller and Harry Reid, Representatives Mark Amodei and Tom McClintock and Governors Jerry Brown and Brian Sandoval honored the release of the Multi-Jurisdiciont Fuel Reduction and Wildfire Prevention Strategy.
The original strategy, finalized in 2007, has successfully guided wildfire risk reduction projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
The recognized agencies have all been implementing fuels reduction treatments that protect Lake Tahoe’s communities and natural environment from wildfire.
