The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Carson City District, along with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) say fire restrictions are being lifted on Wednesday.

Fire restrictions start Thursday in western Nevada, and will last until further notice. 

Tinder-dry vegetation, exceptional drought conditions, increasing daytime temperatures, and several human-caused fires have prompted the BLM, Forest Service and other agencies to implement fire restrictions within western Nevada starting this Friday.
