Summary
[edit]DescriptionAngora Fire, South Lake Tahoe--as seen from 50+ miles away (624194448).jpg |
The uber-ominous plume of smoke arising from the Angora Fire near South Lake Tahoe, California. We drove from Reno to Winnemucca last night and the smoke plume had already traveled all the way to Winnemucca. The Angora Fire was a wind driven fire that started near North Upper Truckee Road subdivision near Angora Lakes, Fallen Leaf Lake, Echo Lake and South Lake Tahoe, California around 2:15 PM on Sunday, June 24, 2007 as a result of an illegal campfire. As of July 2, 2007, the fire was 100% contained, and 100% control (all interior fires extinguished) was achieved on July 10. The fire burned 3,100 acres (12.5 km²), destroyed 242 residences and 67 commercial structures, and damaged 35 other homes. At the peak, there were as many as 2,180 firefighters involved in battling the blaze. As of July 2, there were still 260 personnel fighting the remaining fires in the interior of the containment line. The fire cost $11.7 million to fight. An investigation into the cause of the fire determined its point of origin. The fire was believed to be human caused, as no thunderstorms were occurring or in the vicinity when the fire began. On 6-29 fire department personnel announced that the cause was an illegal campfire, (or possibly a discarded cigarette into a campfire pit) and further investigation is pending. As of June 28, over $141 million in damage had occurred. 254 homes destroyed, 26 homes damaged and 3,000 evacuations were prompted, making it among the top half-dozen most costly fires in the U.S. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angora_Fire en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
