Brush Fire Shut Down Power Across Region

Fire crews battled flames near Vista Blvd and Altos Pkwy, forcing NV Energy to shut down lines to protect the entire system. No injuries or structures lost, but the blaze burned 100 acres and was 20% contained by Wednesday morning. A stark reminder: local fires can have massive, unexpected ripple effects.
