The Lake Tahoe basin hasn’t seen a wildfire since 2007 when the Angora Fire destroyed 254 homes and led to thousands of evacuations. While firefighters have so far kept the Caldor Fire at bay, other communities haven’t been as lucky. Grizzly Flats, a community in the Sierras to the west of Lake Tahoe, was overrun by the fire late last week.
