LOCAL NEWS AND COMMUNITY UPDATES
Serene Lakes Home Earns Wildfire Prepared Home Designation
A Serene Lakes residence recently earned the IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home designation, making it one of the early certified homes in the Truckee/Donner Summit region.
The homeowner worked with Truckee Fire Protection District to meet science-based standards focused on ember and flame resistance, including defensible space improvements, ember-resistant vents, and a noncombustible zone near the home.
Truckee Fire is encouraging other local homeowners to take similar steps. TFPD offers free defensible space inspections, help navigating the IBHS application, and reimbursement of the $125 application fee once the designation is earned.

Saturday Could Bring Elevated Fire-Weather Concerns
NWS Reno is flagging a greater potential for gusty winds and fire-weather concerns by the start of next weekend, with Saturday currently looking like the day to watch. With grasses drying back out after recent rain, this is a good week to wrap up defensible space work and be extra careful with anything that could spark.
Alder Creek / Highway 89 Forest Closure
A 2,934-acre forest closure remains in effect for fuels reduction work near Alpine Meadows, Big Chief, Cabin Creek, and Alder 89. Check status before heading out.
Truckee Cultural District Mini Grants Open Through June 30
Individual artists can apply for up to $1,000 for 2026 projects within the Truckee Cultural District.
RESTAURANT PICK OF THE WEEK
RMU Truckee
With Truckee Pride Week bringing a lot of activity downtown, RMU feels like a fitting local pick this week. The downtown Truckee spot is hosting multiple Pride events, including Queeraoke and FRUIT Bike Night, and has become a popular gathering place for the local outdoor community. Expect craft beer, cocktails, pizza, and a lively patio scene right in the heart of town.
