NV Energy is working with local and federal agencies on wildfire mitigation efforts in two key Nevada locations, according to a Facebook post from the company.
The projects include infrastructure improvements and vegetation management aimed at reducing wildfire risks.
In the Chimney Peak area of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, NV Energy, in coordination with the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and U.S. Forest Service-Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, is conducting road improvement work on several U.S. Forest Service system roads.
The work involves vegetation clearing, drainage upgrades, and culvert repairs.
Increased traffic and heavy equipment activity are expected through the end of September. Drivers are advised to follow spotter instructions and maintain safe distances.
At Heavenly Mountain Resort, NV Energy is collaborating with the U.S. Forest Service-Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and the resort to carry out critical fire mitigation and vegetation management work.
Temporary trail and road access restrictions may be in effect, and residents and visitors should watch for helicopters, logging trucks, and equipment in the area through the end of October.
NV Energy emphasized, “Your safety is our priority. Thank you for your patience and cooperation!”
More information about these projects is available on NV Energy’s website.
