Five Wildfires Rage in Elko County | Reno News

Five wildfires rage across Elko County, Nevada, with the Chimney Fire at 12,000 acres and growing — and officials warn it’s far from contained. The Secret Pass Fire burns uncontrolled at 4,500 acres, while Long Canyon and Boyd Fires each cover 100 and 123 acres respectively, with zero containment. Only the Hoppie Basin Fire, at 304 acres, is 85% contained. Governor Joe Lombardo has deployed two National Guard helicopters to assist crews battling the flames — a clear sign the situation is escalating. With resources stretched thin, emergency responders are racing against the clock to prevent further devastation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
