The Conner Fire in the Pinenut Range, eight miles southeast of Gardnerville has burned an estimated 13,901 acres, according to the Bureau of Land Management. At last report Friday there was no containment.

The fire is exhibiting extreme wind-driven behavior, with rapid uphill runs. Sustained winds are pushing the fire to make fast, intense runs, especially on slopes and through aligned fuels. This is considered running fire, meaning it is spreading quickly and with high intensity, challenging suppression efforts.

Ground crews and engines are actively engaged in suppression efforts, and dozers are being utilized where appropriate. Aircraft are currently assisting with suppression, though gusty winds, combined with low humidity, may impact their operations.

An Evacuation Order been issued for Old Ranch Road north of Out-R-Way. Residents in this area should evacuate immediately and follow directions from emergency personnel.

The public is asked to follow all evacuation orders and respect area closures to keep both the community and first responders safe. Additionally, a Precautionary Evacuation Warning has been issued for a portion of the Fish Springs area. Residents in the warning zone should prepare now for a potential evacuation, especially those with large animals, mobility needs, or other access and functional challenges.
