Elephant Fire Grows But Rain Helps | Reno News

Elephant Fire’s burning through 15,500 acres northeast of Loyalton, now 42% contained—but don’t sleep on it. Rain helped crews build lines and knock down hot spots, but a fast-moving flare-up on the northwest forced defensive burns. Bulldozers and aircraft are still battling, with repairs possibly starting near Scott Road and Highway 395. Watch out: warmer, drier weather with wind is looming—dry fuels and exposed ridges mean the fight’s far from over.
