A wildfire has burned at least 10 acres in Smith Valley. The Smith Valley Fire Protection District along with the Nevada Division of Forestry and The BLM responded to the Pine Nut Mountains near Red Canyon yesterday. Due to the rocky and steep terrain, fire crews spent the night monitoring the spread and have staged resources to begin structure protection efforts today. Lyon County is urging residents and travelers to avoid the area of Sharon Way and Grant Drive in Smith Valley to allow for emergency vehicle access. While there is not an immediate threat to structures at this time, citizens near Red Canyon should remain vigilant and be prepared for potential evacuations.
