Lake Tahoe Angora Fire On Sunday, June 24, 2007 at approximately 2:00 p.m. a large-scale firestorm broke out in South Lake Tahoe, California along the Angora Ridge. Sadly, the conditions at the time fueled the fire into a highly intense and destructive firestorm, which quickly destroyed hundreds of homes in just a matter of 24 hours. By the time firefighting reinforcements raced into town, approximately 250 homes were completely destroyed with many more damaged and uninhabitable. Residents who ran from their homes, many with only a few minutes notice left with literally the clothes on their back. Bewildered and in shock, residents took shelter in Red Cross Evacuee Centers and over the course of a few days began to grasp the magnitude of the life-changing events of June 2007. The tight-knit community of South Lake Tahoe quickly organized and stepped up to help their friends, colleagues, neighbors and coworkers. It seems everyone in town knew someone who lost everything. A loss of this magnitude on the small town of South Lake Tahoe has hit hard though and the need is great. Loss estimates are more than 150 million dollars and most homeowners and renters in the area are underinsured. Your help is needed for the long-term recovery of the survivors.
