BLM: Fire danger high in northern Nevada

Please help reduce the risk of human-caused fires by following a few simple precautions:

• Make sure all campfires are out and cold before leaving them.

• Smoke only in an enclosed vehicle and do not dispose of lit cigarettes outside the vehicle.

• Do not burn weeds or trash on a windy day (it doesn't take much wind).

• Do not use fireworks (always prohibited on public lands) or tracers.

• Do not operate off-road vehicles without a spark arrestor.

• Think before using anything that could cause a spark or flame.

• Always have water and a shovel available when using fire.

Be responsible and be fire wise, when recreating on public lands. Report any wildfires to the Central Nevada Interagency Dispatch Center at (800) 535-6076 or (775) 623-3444.
