South Lake Tahoe: The better weather has slowed the growth of Wildfire Huge California near the Lake Tahoe resort community, said the July authorities.

The Ernst team, the head of the operation, said the fire official was carefully optimistic about the “lot of hard work” by firefighters for the past two weeks.
The fire of almost 333-miles of square (862 kilometers) did not make significant progress and did not challenge the detention line in the long part of the perimeter, but Ernst said “the risk is still out there” with some of the remaining heat.
The population on the west and north of the fire was allowed to return home on Friday afternoon, but firefighting officials said they did not have a certain timeline toop the southern lake Tahoe.
Utility companies must ensure that the power is restored, the fire crew must remove dangerous trees and other threats to electrical lines, and the highway must be cleaned from debris.
Jake Curle, Head of Other Operation Section, said that firefighting officials and law enforcers were evaluating problems in meetings several times a day to determine when to raise the evacuation order.
“Everything is based on fire behavior.
For now, everything looks good.

Residents who were forced to escape from South Lake Tahoe earlier this week continued to be evacuated along with people throughout the state in Douglas County, Nevada.
The resort area can easily accommodate 100,000 people on a busy weekend but very empty before the Labor Day weekend.
The fire handled a big blow to the economy which was very dependent on tourism and began to rebound this summer the shutdowns pandemic.
