A U.S. Forest Service firefighter who died Saturday evening in the Lake Tahoe area while battling a wildfire has been identified.
Authorities with the agency released a statement saying Michael "Mike" Hallenbeck from Shingle Springs, Calif. died from injuries received while suppressing a wildfire on the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) in Northern California. The 21-year-old was a member of Organized Crew 36 on the LTBMU.
Hallenbeck was struck by a tree at approximately 5:30 p.m. during the initial attack on the Sierra Fire, just inside the LTBMU boundary south of Echo Summit.
Dana, if you're still on this board, stay safe if you're out there.
