Elephant Fire Mostly Contained | Reno News

Elephant Fire near the Sierra and Plumas County line scorched 13,930 acres but is now 98% contained — with lingering smoke expected as a stubborn patch smolders safely within containment lines. Fire crews have completed cleanup and erosion control, handing over operations to Tahoe National Forest by July 26, while keeping a watchful eye. The blaze, sparked near Highway 49 northeast of Loyalton, burned through grass, brush, and timber — even crossing 2020 burn scars.
