Law enforcement is looking for a vehicle that may be connected to the Evans Fire that is burning near the Mount Rose Wilderness Area.

The fire is at 63 acres and 50 percent containment.

U.S. Forest Service investigators have determined the fire was human caused, but the specific cause is still under investigation. They are looking for a green lifted Jeep Cherokee with a LED light bar on the roof. If anyone has information, they are asked to contact Capt. Don Harris at 775.355.5327 or deharris@fs.fed.us.

The Evans Fire started the morning of July 1 west of Reno on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest’s Carson Ranger District.
