Multiple agencies are expressing how proud they are of how well fire crews kept a handle on the Davis Fire yesterday despite very challenging weather conditions.

Multiple agencies are expressing how proud they are of how well fire crews kept a handle on the Davis Fire yesterday despite very challenging weather conditions.

First responders are telling us they're cautiously optimistic right now.

The Southwest Incident Management Team says while firefighters are making great progress there's still lots of work to do.

"On the north side of division, crews are working hard to extinguish the remaining hotspots that are just south of the Galena community," said Jason Clawson, operations manager for the Southwest region.

Clawson says there was no need for aircraft to help fight the fire on Thursday, which is considered a good sign.

The southwest region fire behavior analyst says we should expect to see containment numbers increase mainly around the north end and southwest end of the perimeter. Over the next two days you should expect to see wispy smoke, nothing major.

"As was predicted we don't have the winds, we have higher humidities, lower temperatures, that's going to alter the majority because it moistens up those fine dead fuels," said Stewart Turner, fire behavior analyst.

NV Energy says their gas and electric teams are beginning inspections to start re-energizing neighborhoods. So far over 1,100 customers have restored power and there are still a little over 1,200 customers without. They will also begin gas depressurization within the next 24 to 48 hours.

"So as the fire incident command allows us to repressurize those lines, we do want to let the public know that they may smell natural gas in that area and if they do that's normal," Jesse Murray, vice president of electric delivery for NV Energy.

The Washoe County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the cause of the fire with Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue. And they're asking for people's help.

Sheriff Darin Balaam says, "We would ask community if they have seen anything at the beginning of this fire on Saturday, whatever that small nugget of information may be please call in and give it that."

On Friday Waste Management will be delivering dumpsters at Galena Creek trailhead and Hunsberger Elementary School for residents to dump any food waste that have gone bad due to the evacuations until Wednesday.
