Just after 3 a.m. this morning, North Tahoe Fire engines and a Battalion Chief responded to a structure fire at the south lodge of the Homewood Mountain Resort, which in the light of day appears completely destroyed. The North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District reports that there were no known injuries and that the emergency call came from a commercial fire alarm.

“We’ve progressively fought fire for the last few hours,” North Tahoe Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve McNamara said in a statement. “It’s been a difficult building due to the size and volume and loading inside of structure.” An investigation is to follow.

Homewood operations were closed for the day, officials from the mountain said. They'll open the slopes again as soon as possible and the team "is working to get the mountain up and running for tomorrow," representatives wrote.

Homewood, a 1962-founded ski resort, is due for a massive, $400 million redevelopment project which is still expected to break ground this spring despite the fire, the Sacramento Bee reported. That project comes from San Francisco real estate developer JMA ventures, which bought Homewood in 2007. As of now, Homewood's offerings are quite small, with just 64 runs and eight lifts in total. As of yesterday, a mere 400 of its 1,260 acres were open, according to ski conditions website On the Snow

Earlier last night, a series of earthquakes struck the Tahoe area, triggering some burglar alarms and shaking up residents.
