A Forest Service law enforcement officer watches as a camper empties the extinguished contents of a restricted charcoal barbecue grill into a metal campfire ring at Badger Campground on the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, July 5, 2026. Charcoal grills present a severe wildfire hazard during hot, dry conditions, when high heat and sparks can ignite nearby vegetation. The incident occurred during a multi-agency holiday enforcement deployment where 31 law enforcement officers and special agents from across the country reported for duty to support public safety at beaches and campgrounds across the basin and assist state and county law enforcement agencies in responding to emergencies and directing traffic.
