The Tahoe National Forest Service has burned about 81 acres during the controlled burn. Sierra Front says the burn is complete and is now in “patrol status.”

Crews will continue monitoring the flames to make sure they don’t become out of control.

Sierra Front officials say there is no need for concern.
