DAVIS ASSOCIATED PRESS MEYERS, Calif. — A wildfire raged out of control near Lake Tahoe on Monday, forcing hun- dreds of residents to flee tower- ing flames that destroyed more than 200 buildings, turned the sky orange, and fouled the lake’s famously clear waters with falling ash. Many hotels offered free rooms as families clung to one bit of good news: Despite the destruction, there were no reports of injuries. “All the memories are gone,” said Matt Laster, a legal assis- tant forced to flee his rented home of five years with his wife, two young children, and cat.
