StumbleFire crews face a new challenge in Elko County
Wednesday, July 21, 1999 | 10:14 a.m.
The Rain fire south of Carlin was contained on Tuesday at 21,730 acres.
But instead of relaxing, firefighters were on the road to the Wagon Box blaze in extreme northeastern Nevada, which expanded to about 10,000 acres.
Because of its remoteness, the blaze was largely being allowed to burn itself out, with three crews, three engines and a helicopter keeping an eye on it.
Remaining firefighters were doing mop-up at the Rain fire.
The Railroad Pass fire south of Jiggs also was contained at 1,200 acres.
