Charles Barkley treated about 100 Lake Tahoe-area firefighters to dinner after touring the devastation of a nearby wildfire that destroyed 254 homes last month. Barkley has pledged $25,000 to the Lake Tahoe fire relief fund. To donate, go to helptahoe.com.
“If we stay over there at the golf and casino, were not going to think anything is going on here,” Barkley said. “Thats why I wanted to come here with a camera. When you live in different parts of the country and they show you two houses burned down, you don’t get the full effect.”
