. Supervisors on Tuesday also passed a proclamation during its regular meeting declaring May through October as the Lake Tahoe Basin Wildfire Awareness Campaign. Fire agencies around the basin this year are working with communities to stay prepared all season by asking residents and visitors to take responsibility when living and recreating in high fire-hazard areas. “By taking action now and throughout the season, we can save precious time in the event of an evacuation by preparing a go-bag and family evacuation plan early,” said Steve Leighton, fire chief for North Tahoe and Meeks Bay fire protection districts, in a statement earlier this week. “To help Lake Tahoe survive a wildfire, residents must manage the vegetation around their homes, and practice home maintenance in order for homes to resist ignition.”
