Ward Fire Grows Rapidly Near Ely | Reno News

The Ward Fire near Ely exploded in size overnight, surging from 1,800 to over 3,700 acres with zero containment—thanks to rugged terrain that’s slowing crews. Despite the odds, firefighters are pushing hard through the night with bulldozers, hand crews, and controlled burns, making progress on the eastern flank. Over 180 firefighters and air support are locked in a fierce battle to protect lives, property, and the wildlands as this July 31st blaze continues to rage.
