Wildfire burns 60 acres in Carson Valley

Wednesday, May 10, 2000 | 11:25 a.m.

The fire broke out just after 3 p.m. and threatened six homes, several outbuildings and a few animals, but there were no reports of damage or injuries.

Firefighters with as many as 13 engines contained the blaze before dusk despite erratic winds to 30 miles an hour. It's too early in the season for air tankers or helicopters to be in place, KOLO-TV reported.

It's believed the blaze was human-caused, but probably was an accident.
