Firefighters’ festival delayed

Wednesday, July 28, 2004 | 9:32 a.m.

The Fire Fest held on Mount Charleston annually and scheduled for Saturday will be rescheduled to a day in August once the Robber's Fire is out.

The festival involves a gathering of firefighters who celebrate with food, music and games on the mountain, 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

Since the Robber's Fire began about 12:30 p.m. Monday, federal, state and local firefighters have been battling the blaze named for Robber's Roost in the Spring Mountains.
