Royal Fire, Tahoe National Forest has burned 215 acres, burning 14 miles southwest of Truckee.

Latest update

The Royal Fire was reported July 7, 2024 at 4:09 p.m. in the area of Royal Gorge on the North Fork of the American River on the Tahoe National Forest. The fire is located in steep, rugged terrain that is difficult to access. Tahoe National Forest immediately responded to the incident with aggressive aerial resources as ground crews made access to the incident. Significant federal, state and local fire resources have supported incident objectives to suppress and contain the fire as quickly as possible.  

As the fire had potential to threaten communities and structures, Tahoe National Forest entered unified command with CALFIRE/Placer County Fire, Placer County Office of Emergency Services and Placer County Sheriff’s Office. After days of successful suppression efforts and the fire’s footprint remained on the Tahoe National Forest, respective agencies transitioned out of unified command on July 11, 2024. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
 

CLOSURES

Tahoe National Forest has issued a Royal Fire Closure Order. 

The Royal Fire Closure Area boundary begins at the intersection of Serene Road and Soda Springs Road (County Road 6001). The boundary follows the Soda Springs Road south and then west and south to the junction of Mosquito Ridge Road (Forest Road 96). The boundary then continues northwest for approximately 5 miles until it reaches the western terminus of the Long Valley Trail (Forest Trail 14E29). The boundary then travels along the Long Valley Trail east to the intersection of Long Valley and Palisades Creek Trail (Forest Trail 14E14) and then continues north along the Palisades Creek Trail to the intersection with Kidd Lakes Road (County Road 9146). The boundary then travels southeast from the Palisades Creek Trailhead for approximately 3 miles back to the starting point at Serene Road and Soda Springs Road.
