Fire crews continue to make progress on a wildfire burning in Humboldt County.
The Dutch Flat Fire, 9 miles northeast of Winnemucca, is now 70% contained at 15,588 acres after starting on July 5th.
The BLM says it initially started on private land and then spread onto BLM land.
The north side of the fire is burning in the remote Hot Springs Mountain Range where fire crews are being supported with helicopters, while on the southeast and west sides of the fire, crews are constructing dozer lines.
The cause remains under investigation.Â
