4. According to the Cal Fire website, the Bridge Fire was 90% contained as of Saturday night. The fire ignited just before 1 p.m. Sept. 5 in the confluence around or under the Foresthill Bridge. Acreage burned has been held at 411 since Monday afternoon. The focus for the past few days was clean-up, inclusive of putting out hot spots and strengthening the line. Full containment is expected by September 15th. (Gold Country Media) (Note: the dates in the GCM article are incorrect. The fire started on September 5 and expected to be contained on September 15, not August as is stated in the article.)
5. Visit Palisades Tahoe in Placer County! Wait. You may already have visited many times.... Squaw Valley is changing its name to Palisades Tahoe, dropping what was perceived as a derogatory term in the name. Along with the name change comes a new logo that combines the two mountains that makeup Palisades Tahoe with the outline of an eagle. Resort officials said that implementing the new name and branding has already begun, but they expect the full change to be a multi-year process. (FOX40)
