The burning property belongs to Nevada State Parks, U.S. Forest Service and California Tahoe Conservancy District.

Heavenly Ski Resort property is intact except for spot fires burning near Stagecoach and Boulder lifts, said Tim Smith, fire chief at Tahoe-Douglas Fire Protection District.

Big surprise there. The National stuff burns, the private stuff doesn't.

A note on the Collins Almanor Forest Company's losses in that 1990 fire:

Bitter End Fire
Of the Approximately 900 acres burned, 600 were timbered. The 1990 Bitter End burn was part of the larger Campbell Fire, which burned 131,000 acres in Tehama County in 1990. Except for a few heavily burned areas, most of the impacted CAF lands received a light burn. Only 245 thousand board feet of timber needed salvaging in 1990.
