The City of Fernley is advising people that all access to Pyramid Lake is closed due to wildfire.

The city wants residents, visitors, and those heading to Burning Man to know about the closure before they make plans involving the lake.

Boating and watercraft are prohibited on the lake at this time, as are drones, as they can interfere with firefighting aircraft.

Those looking to make alternate plans due to the lake's closure should know that camping in the Fernley city limits isn't allowed, except at an authorized campground or RV facility.

Roads near areas affected by the fire are open intermittently, according to a release from the City of Fernley. They can close or reopen as fire conditions or emergency operations change.
