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.

Among the many delicious vegetables grown by Nevada farmers, tomatoes are a common fan favorite among shoppers. However, if you’ve shopped the farmers market recently, you may have noticed an unusual absence of these delicious fruits.

This absence of tomatoes is largely due to the unfavorable weather conditions experienced throughout the 2024 growing season.
