Tahoe Pine Works Would Like To Thank All The People Working The Angora Fire
Hello and Welcome.
At this time we would like to thank everyone for sending us notes, emails, phone calls, etc. during the Angora fire that was burning in South Lake Tahoe. We are happy to say that all Tahoe Pine Works people made it out of this fire safe and lost nothing. We spent many days protecting homes and the areas around us to prevent fire in our area. We would also like to thank the customers who at the time placed orders with us and were understanding when the orders were a day or two late due to the fire.
A very large THANK YOU goes out to the many firefighters, CDF, US Forest Service, Flight Crews and the fire departments that traveled several hours to help fight this fire. With out all of you we are sure Lake Tahoe would have been gone. THANK YOU
On June 23rd our fire started out in the Angora Lake area. By June 28th the Angora fire had burned more then 200 homes and forced some 2,000 residents to evacuate. Fire crews had hopes of containment by July 3rd. On July 2nd these same fire crews had this fire under containment. All in all the Angora fire burned more then 3,100 acres and had destroyed 254 homes 75 businesses and damaged 14 other homes. The fire reached a cost of $12.5 million to fight with more funding needed to continue on the restoration of the area. Cal fire officials believe the fire started due to an illegal camp fire!
Again we would like to thank you our customers for checking in on us and we would like to again thank the fire crews for putting this fire out.
A note to our customers whom own second homes in this area. Please be advised that the local sheriffs has been working on the prevention of non licensed contractors trying to get work in the burned areas (they have already arrested 5 of these people) Please be sure to check licenses if one of these people contact you about work. We will be more then happy to help you out in doing this. If you need any photos and can not make it up to Lake Tahoe please feel free to contact us as we will take photos for you and help you out any way that we can.
