At this time, while the fire has reached the area of the Mt. Rose Ski Resort, it has not crested the ridge into the Tahoe basin. Tahoe communities are not under evacuation warnings Wednesday morning.
Those within evacuation zones need to leave immediately. Waiting until the fire is close by will disrupt fire fighting efforts of traffic clogs the roads that need to remain clear for response.
Those within warning zones should be preparing to evacuate. Prepare a “go bag” which you can grab at a moments notice.
Some suggested items to bring:
- Clothing
- Medications
- Glasses / contacts, toothbrush, deodorant, soap/shampoo/conditioner, and any other necessary toiletries

- Pet food, pet medications, leashes and/or carrying containers
- Non-electronic activities for children in the event of power failure
- Flashlight and radio, or combination of both
