The Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District announced at 3 p.m. Friday, that the 278-acre Hawken Fire in Caughlin Ranch is now 100% contained.
Fire crews say air resources are no longer making water drops after making several drops Thursday morning.
The fire ignited Wednesday just before 1 p.m. near Caughlin Ranch, off Hawken Road and Pronghorn Court.
“The fire came dangerously close to a few homes at Hawken Road and Pronghorn Court, but firefighters were able to hold it,” TMFPD Chief Charles Moore said. “I believe the success of this fire was the call for significant mutual aid resources. I want to thank all the agencies that assisted TMFPD in fighting this fire, and the law enforcement that ensured resident and traffic safety while resources were deployed. I want to say a special thank you to all of these firefighters for their aggressive attack on this fire and for working so hard in successfully keeping our community safe.”
No injuries were reported, and the fire remains under investigation.
