Today, East Fork Fire Protection District and Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District joined communities across our nation in honoring and remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

At 8:45 a.m., our crews gathered alongside our partners at Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District and members of our community for Patriot Day ceremonies throughout Douglas County.

We remember the 2,977 lives lost, including the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice. We honor the first responders who ran toward danger, the families forever impacted, and the countless acts of courage and selflessness witnessed that day and in the days that followed.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember their sacrifice and carry forward the promise:

Never Forget.

Residential Structure Fire | Judy Street

At approximately 1:45 a.m., East Fork Fire Protection District responded to a reported residential structure fire in the 1300 block of Judy Street.

Initial reports indicated a fire on the rear porch had extended into the residence. Both occupants were able to safely evacuate prior to the arrival of fire crews.

First-arriving units encountered heavy fire involvement throughout the home.

No civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

The residence sustained extensive fire damage. Crews remained on scene into the morning conducting salvage and overhaul operations, extinguishing remaining hot spots and protecting property where possible.

East Fork Fire Protection District would like to thank South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue, Tahoe Douglas Fire District, and carsoncity_firedepartment for their on-scene mutual aid assistance.

While East Fork resources were committed to the incident, MONO COUNTY EMS RESCUE, Tahoe Douglas Fire District, and Central Lyon Fire assisted with district coverage to ensure emergency response remained available throughout our communities.

Thank you to all responding agencies and personnel for their continued partnership and support.

Eagle Fire Final Update | August 15 | Douglas County, NV

The Eagle Fire is now 100% contained.

Firefighters continued to patrol the fire today, checking the perimeter and working remaining areas of heat. Minimal heat was found, allowing incident resources to begin transitioning out of the area.

Command of the incident is being transitioned to an engine crew. Firefighters will return tomorrow for a final patrol and monitoring shift, with the fire expected to be called controlled around midday.

The Eagle Fire remains at approximately 148 acres, based on the most recent ground-truthed mapping. The fire is located north of Topaz Ranch Estates.

Thank you to the firefighters, cooperators, and community members who supported the response and gave crews room to work safely.

This will be the final update for the Eagle Fire unless conditions change.

Eagle Fire Update | August 14, 2026 | Douglas County, NV

Firefighters made significant progress Friday on the Eagle Fire, located north of Topaz Ranch Estates (TRE), increasing containment to 70 percent following a full operational shift around the fire perimeter.

Improved weather conditions allowed crews to access all areas of the fire and focus on remaining heat along the perimeter. Firefighters identified several areas of concern on the north end of the fire, where steep, rugged terrain and heavy fuels continued to hold heat. A helicopter assisted ground crews with bucket drops in these areas, allowing firefighters to secure the remaining problem spots.

No precipitation was received over the fire Friday, and fuels continued to dry following rainfall earlier in the week. As conditions dried, remaining heat became more visible and allowed crews to identify and address hot spots.

Updated ground mapping places the Eagle Fire at approximately 148 acres. The previous acreage of 151 acres was based on an infrared flight. Friday's acreage reflects more detailed mapping completed by personnel on the ground.

Crews will return Saturday to thoroughly check the perimeter and continue searching for and extinguishing remaining heat. Once the fireline has been checked, firefighters will begin working farther into the interior on visible smoke and isolated hot spots.

The helicopter will remain assigned to the Eagle Fire but available for initial attack if needed.

If progress continues as expected, staffing on the Eagle Fire will begin to decrease Saturday, with engines remaining to patrol and check the fire through Sunday.

Seven days of fighting fire. Seven days of hard work, long hours, and unwavering dedication.

This photo represents just some of the local agencies and crews who have come together with one mission, to protect our communities and support one another.

These are only a few of the many crews who have answered the call across Northern Nevada to battle the Bug Fire and Stallion Fire. There are far too many firefighters, support personnel, and agencies working tirelessly to capture in a single photo.

To all of the crews on the fireline and behind the scenes, thank you for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to our communities.

Take a moment to thank your local firefighters
