Heavy fuels and weather are the biggest challenges in fighting the fire. In addition to today having Red Flag conditions, it is likely to be upgraded to PDS condition, meaning "Potentially Dangerous Situation."
TMFR is fully staffed, as all available firefighters were called to be on duty today - something that hasn't been done in at least 12 years.
Crews are working 24/7 to fight the fire. However, once winds get above a certain point aircraft can no longer safely fly to assist. Winds up atop the ridges near the fire are getting up to 60mph, and can get up to 40mph at lower elevations.
Depending on the wind speeds today, aircraft may not be able to provide support. Residents are urged to be prepared.
Washoe County Sheriff’s Deputies will be continuing to patrol evacuated areas, securing property and providing evacuation support for those in need. They are ensuring that homes are safe, and people who are not supposed to be in the area will be removed.
