I want to ask if this could go all the way through South Lake Tahoe? Does “all the way up” mean North to Homewood?
Could you give me a link to the notice? I live in Stateline, NV

They are still there. Run the video back 15 minutes and you can see them, with their flashlights. Dedication!

Well given that the Sheriff has the legal authority for Evacuation, id go with that. Please remember that while AEU is certainly embedded with IMT 6, Team 6 is in command of the fire.

EDSO map shows Warning boundary at Al Tahoe Blvd. But, I wouldn’t quibble about a mile or two to Stateline, given the weather prediction.

There’s roughly 20 engines, numerous dozers, crews, and task force resources in the Meyers area actively prepping, evacuating, and holding for the fire front.

To me that is bat shit crazy. I’ve been watching them all night. Trained professionals that know what they are doing! A half dozen or more just went off to the left of the camera! Praying for them!

Read the notice from the Sheriff 9pm update for specifics.
If I were anywhere near south lake, I would be gone. Especially after having to live through Paradise. This is unbelievable. Just absolutely unbelievable.

The online gis map of the evac zones seems to be phasing in the different neighborhoods towards Stateline. Maybe trying to prevent traffic getting clogged…? It’s only a warning, so they should just have the shading match the Calfire news release. Luckily many have already left who have the financial means to avoid the smoke.
It’s the folks without cars and the resources to get out quickly that worries me.
The day was bright heat as fire activity roared and spread on the northern fires from GOES satellite:
This fire right lower corner. You can zoom in and out but it might be slow.
