Burning Bans Hit Incline Village

North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District has shut down all open vegetation burning in Incline Village and Crystal Bay—no more wood, pine needles, or slash fires. Recreational fires? Still allowed, but you need a permit, a contained fire pit with a one-eighth inch mesh spark screen, and you must follow strict safety rules. Gas and propane fire pits are okay with a permit, and standard grills and smokers using propane, natural gas, charcoal, or pellets remain permitted. These rules are in place to protect the community from accidental fires amid dry conditions—fire safety isn’t seasonal, it’s serious.
