The fire, which started on September 2, 2024, off Bear Valley Road, is under the management of the Tahoe National Forest. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and fire agencies are focusing on ensuring that it remains within its current footprint.
The firefighting effort involves around 207 personnel, who are engaged in full suppression activities.
