Fire in Buckhorn Yesterday Morning
A smoldering campfire yesterday morning on some Bureau of Land Management
property at the end of Belden Mine Rd in Buckhorn got quite the fire
response. The abandoned campfire was discovered by a neighbor and reported to
local fire officials. Although this fire was caught quickly and in time this is
an example of how easily the irresponsibility of one can lead to devastation
for a community. The Tahoe area Angora Fire was started by a smoldering illegal
campfire which was not discovered in time to avoid a full clown wildland fire.
