Full containment of the fire was announced on July 2, 2007, two days before the 4th of July holiday.Īn investigation into the cause of the fire determined its point of origin. A day after the fire started, the state of California declared it a state of emergency, opening up state funds. People flocked to head towards the source, but the firefighters blockaded the road near the high school. Īfter an hour of burning, soot began to fall from the sky around the Tahoe Keys area. A study concluded that snow pack was 29% of average in 2007. In addition to the strong winds, the fire was also fuelled by unusually dry conditions in the Sierra Nevada (U.S.). Many neighborhoods were evacuated immediately, giving only very short warning to residents, sometimes as short as 5 minutes. During that time, the region was experiencing extremely strong winds and low relative humidity, which fanned the fire and created an extremely rapid moving crown fire. The fire began at approximately 2:15 PM on June 24, 2007, near Seneca Pond, a small lake near Lake Tahoe and the town of Meyers.
