SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Firing up a charcoal barbecue will not be a part of this summer’s gatherings in the Truckee-North Lake Tahoe area.
The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District said starting Monday it would join the ban on charcoal fires currently in place in Placer and Nevada counties because of the region’s lack of precipitation and the extreme fire danger due from the exceedingly dry conditions.
