NORDEN - Fire crews extinguished an early-morning fire in the Sugar Bowl village on Thursday, overcoming multiple challenges.
Around 2:30 a.m., the Truckee Fire Protection District responded to the Sugar Bowl village for reports of a structure fire.
However, crews were not able to access the building with their engines due to the snow blocking access.
Crews used a snowcat, snowmobiles and UTVs to access and haul in gear and equipment in order to extinguish the fire.
Cal Fire NEU, Olympic Valley Fire Department and Northstar Fire Department helped Truckee Fire, while North Tahoe Fire Protection District provided coverage at one of Truckee Fire's stations.
"Fortunately these types of incidents are very infrequent in our area, however our crews regularly train on unique responses such as this so they are able to carry out our mission of providing the highest level of public safety services to the residents and visitors of our community at a moments notice," Truckee Fire.
It's not known what caused the fire and the extent of the damage.
