"As temperatures rise and fuels continue to dry out across our region, the risk of accidental wildfire starts increases significantly. Suspending open burning is an important step in helping protect our community, firefighters, and the natural resources that make Northern Nevada such a special place.
We appreciate the cooperation of our residents and businesses in helping reduce the potential for human-caused wildfires. Please remember that outdoor activities involving heat, sparks, or open flames should always be conducted with caution."
