Letter: We need universal fire rules in Lake Tahoe Basin


I have lived in South Lake Tahoe on both the Nevada and California side for 3.5 years. Prior to this I was in Summit County Colorado, Florida and grew up in Upstate NY. I have A LOT of outdoor knowledge and experience in my life I am 40-years-old). I was a Physical Education teacher for 9 years and have been a lifeguard for 25. I moved here and lived in my 11x7 camper for 2 winters. Ok enough about me I just wanted to establish some merit.
I am writing this email on behalf of myself and NUMEROUS long-time locals regarding the fire regulations and rules we currently have in place. From my understanding we are in the biggest drought (as a country) ever recorded. Tahoe has blown up with tourism ever since last summer and as you know and see people do insane things with no common sense or intelligent thought behind them. Especially since COVID. We (as a community) feel that there should be more coherence between the fire agencies and regulations around the lake on both the NV and CA sides. Not only is it confusing to people visiting (which seems to be the majority of our population here) but it is truly mind blowing that we can have a burn ban for many places (including gas grills) and others are allowed to have wood bonfires just feet away from the places in which they are banned. The topography and vegetation are exactly the same in these instances so how can there be different rules for different places such as certain campgrounds? We would like to see a UNIFIED FRONT regarding fire regulations at ALL of our different agencies in the Tahoe Basin. That just seems to be the most logical and overall, the safest way to handle such a dangerous season(s).
