Reno Gazette-Journal
Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Fire Chief Charles Moore said a Nevada Division of Forestry helicopter is also responding to the Pinehaven Fire.
He said the fire will ultimately be in Reno’s jurisdiction.
“We were a unified command with Reno but I believe it’s transitioning to a Reno command and we may be minimizing our role here fairly soon,” Moore said.
1:30 p.m. update: The Pinehaven Fire has grown to 70 acres, but is not threatening any structures, said Christie Kalkowski, a spokeswoman for the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch Center.
Ground crews with 60 responders are on scene. Two single-engine air tankers are also attacking the blaze.
