Significant Fire Damage to Tamarack Pines Inn Below Bear Valley

Bear Valley, CA…We have confirmed with both the Ebbetts Pass Fire District & Cal-Fire that an early morning fire did significant damage to the Tamarack Pines Inn in Tamarack.  According to TCU Dispatch the initial call was at 5am this morning.   Initial reports are that occupants heard some form of explosion and then the building rapidly filled with smoke. Thankfully all occupants made it out without injury and the investigation is underway as to cause. A few years ago in a heavy snow year there was a fire at this Inn that was isolated to the propane tank area.   Since there is currently 10 feet of snow in the area the investigation will take some time.  More details to follow…
