#TMFR Crews suppressed a .5 acre fire today on United States Forest Service jurisdiction in Mitchell Canyon (west side of Peavine Mountain near Dog Valley). The suspected cause is an escaped campfire. Fire crews were assisted by the Bureau of Land Management.
Despite cooler temperatures, fire risk remains high in Washoe County. Please avoid outdoor activities that can spark fires, such as campfires and target shooting. Tracer ammunition and exploding targets are illegal year-round in Washoe County and on public lands. Always have access to water or carry a small fire extinguisher and hand tools in the event a small fire starts. 📸 @tmfpd #nevada
