twitterWeather salves Nevada’s fires
Thursday, Aug. 31, 2000 | 10:10 a.m.
A total of seven firefighters were at work Thursday in the state, all of them on the 2,600-acre Phillips Ranch fire 50 miles southeast of Ely.
It's officially only 25 percent contained, but heavy rain on Wednesday was helping the crew that's mopping up hot spots.
The Cherry fire 30 miles northwest of Ely is pretty much being ignored. Nobody is at the scene and there's been no report from that fire in a week. At last word, it had burned 8,000 acres and was 80 percent contained.
It's been burning off and on for seven weeks.
Continued cool temperatures with scattered showers are forecast into the weekend across northern Nevada.
