Fire crews have made progress in containing the Davis Fire along Davis Creek Road and the Joy Lake area. More than 700 personnel are on the scene.
“Crews on the Davis Fire had another successful day working on increasing containment,” officials said in a media statement.
Increased winds may cause burning in areas, but firefighters will continue to patrol and extinguish hot spots using water and hand tools.
Evacuations for Galena Forests and Saint James Village have been lifted, but residents are urged to remain vigilant and avoid evacuation zones. Crews are working to remove hazardous trees caused by the fire.
Waste Management is providing dumpsters at two locations for residents to discard spoiled food and other waste: one at the Truckee Meadows Fire Station on Joy Lake Road and another at the intersection of US-395 and Eastlake Boulevard.
The cause of the Davis Fire remains under investigation. Authorities are asking anyone with credible information or who was in the vicinity of Davis Creek Regional Park on Sept. 8 to contact 775-326-6079 or email [email protected].
