A crew extinguished a fire that broke out on the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 18, behind the Walgreens on North McCarran Boulevard and Mae Anne Avenue.
The fire was visible from nearby homes, but Fire Marshall John Beck told the RN&R on Aug. 26 that, while some damage occurred to a fence, no buildings were damaged.
The Reno Fire Department advises homeowners to maintain “adequate defensible space” by clearing dead or flammable vegetation and making it easier for emergency responders to locate you by having your house number clearly visible from the street.
