More Strong Wind Could Drive Tahoe Fire By AMANDA FEHD, Associated Press Writer 5 hours ago MEYERS, Calif. - Firefighters were warned Wednesday that strong afternoon wind could again stoke the turbulent wildfire near Lake Tahoe and would threaten their safety, a day after a flare-up forced thousands of residents to flee. Fire officials had believed they had a handle on the eastern edge of the blaze, which has destroyed nearly 200 homes at the south end of the scenic alpine lake. But a large gust Tuesday afternoon forced firefighters off the line they had been holding for more than a day. That surge briefly trapped two firefighters and forced the evacuation of a 300-home subdivision. Wind was expected to gust slightly higher Wednesday afternoon than it did Tuesday, reaching speeds up to 35 mph, National Weather Service forecaster Jim Wallmann said. "It really is hard to predict what these winds are going to do," said Kelly Martin, a fire behavior analyst who addressed hundreds of firefighters from across the state at a pre-dawn briefing Wednesday. As she spoke at the Heavenly Ski Resort, dense smoke started to filter in from the fire just to the west. more - http://www.comcast.net/news/index.jsp?cat=.../27/700445.html |
