A fire that started Thursday night in the Pine Nut Mountains has burned about 50 acres.

Called the Holiday Fire, it is burning south of Gardnerville between Carter and Buffalo Spring. Crews had a hard time reaching the fire because of the remote location.

It was reported just after 7pm Dec. 28 on acreage owned by the Bureau of Land Management.

The cause of the fire is not known.
