UPDATE: Carson City landfill fire knocked down at 2.5 acres

Sunday, July 28, 2024 - 2:35pm

UPDATE 5:38PM: Mop up work is underway at the landfill fire, according to Carson City Fire Department Battalion Chief Jon Pedrini. The fire was around 2.5 acres in size and was fueled largely by windy conditions.

There was a brief threat outside the dump's boundaries, but it was quickly put down. The Carson City Sheriff's Office put a drone in the air to make sure there wasn't an extension, Pedrini said. The area that burned was made up of decomposed trash that likely combusted. There were no injuries.
