The Tahoe Fire & Fuels Team (TFFT) was formed in 2008 to implement the Lake Tahoe Basin Multi-Jurisdictional Fuel Reduction and Wildfire Prevention Strategy. Members are a group of dedicated professionals committed to protecting life, property and the environment at Lake Tahoe through proper management of the forests to reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire, thereby protecting communities, while safeguarding the exceptional natural resources of Lake Tahoe.
The TFFT utilizes the Incident Command System to share resources and knowledge, improve project planning, tracking, and reporting and to implement public education and outreach programs. The TFFT is overseen by a Multi-Agency Coordinating Group which includes the seven Lake Tahoe Basin fire chiefs and eight local agency executives. Download a list here.
Partner programs of the Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team include the Tahoe Network of Fire Adapted Communities and the Lake Tahoe West Restoration Partnership.
