A small brush fire with a low rate of spread was quickly knocked down Tuesday afternoon by the Carson City Fire Department. The fire, reported at 1:36 p.m., was south of Carson River Park off Carson River Road on the west side of the river.
The small fire had put up some smoke that was visible from Carson River Road, according to a battalion chief on scene.
Fire engines and a brush crew responded with some of the response scaled back due to the small size and low rate of spread. Fire crews on scene knocked it down within minutes of locating it. The cause is unknown at this time.
