Firefighters quick to tame Carson City blaze
By Reno Gazette-Journal
The 15-acre Goni Fire burning on BLM land in the hills north of Carson City is burning in moderate brush and should be controlled soon, a Carson City Fire Department official said.
Carson City and BLM crews have six brush engines on the fire, said Carson City Fire Battalion Chief Eric Bero. There are also two single-engine air tankers and two helicopters battling the blaze.
“I’ve been watching the smoke decrease significantly and hearing less and less radio traffic over the past hour, so it looks like it will be taken care of today,” Bero said.
No structures are threatened and no injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
