"Red Flag" Days

CANNOT BURN ON "RED FLAG" DAYS.

HOW TO KNOW IF IT IS A "RED FLAG" DAY? Red Flag indicators are dry, low humidity, and high wind conditions. When there is a Red Flag warning, these websites will say so.

IT'S OKAY TO HAVE... a fire in your indoor fireplace as long as you have spark arresters.

I spoke with the North Tahoe Fire District because I needed clarification. They are super people ready to answer questions: 530-583-6911

Coyote & Bear Awareness

Coyotes are...

• Always close, watching to lure non-supervised pets.

• Originated in the deep south, Confederates at heart. You can hear their "rebel yell" at night/early mornings (sounds like a bunch of drunken high school kids)

• Coyotes stroll early mornings through Timberland with Tahoe House coffee and their favorite pastry.

• Mixes a wicked Margarita.

• Unprofessional note-takers of "Minutes" at Bear Meetings.

Bears are...

• Destructive yet darned adorable.

• Not potty-trained.

• Able to inadvertently turn ON stoves and start fires. Not kidding.

• They will greet you at the door with dinner started and a shaken not stirred gin martini.

• Capable of annihilating your car's interior if you don't lock your doors. Your insurance doesn't cover their mess.

NOTE: Bears meet bi-monthly to exchange info on locations of accessible homes with the best snacks and peach pie. Not kidding.
