A sudden storm on Lake Tahoe scuppered the 2025 Incline Village fireworks show after the fireworks barge was damaged, according to a social media post by the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.
“The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is assisting to secure the area and support recovery efforts,” according to the post. “For your safety, please avoid the closed areas, both on land and on the water.”
Some fireworks may have fallen into Lake Tahoe as a result of the incident.
“If you discover any fireworks debris or unexploded materials around Lake Tahoe, do not touch it,” the Sheriff’s Office said. “Please report it to the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Non-Emergency Dispatch at 775-785-9276 for disposal.”
Out of an abundance of caution, Incline and Ski beaches will remain closed until further notice while community partners assess the situation and develop a recovery plan.
“Your safety is our top priority. Please stay tuned for updates through official channels,” the post stated.
There is no indication the weather affected the Stateline fireworks show scheduled to start around 9:30 p.m.
