Nevada free of fire at last
Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2000 | 10:50 a.m.
A 10,400-acre blaze that blew up over the weekend northwest of Winnemucca has been contained and some 240 people on the lines are leaving for a brief rest or to move on to other fires in the West.
The only other fire in the state, the 2,367-acre Phillips Ranch blaze 55 miles southeast of Ely has been burning for a month and a half and is being allowed to smolder until rain or snow extinguishes it. Three people are keeping an eye on it.
