BLM: Firefighters continue efforts on Nye County’s Gothic Fire
Crews had completed about 50 percent of their “confine and contain strategy” for the Gothic Fire in Nye County, which had burned more than 36,000 acres, the BLM said in a news release late Monday.
The fire on the Nevada Test and Training Range began on July 4 after a lightning strike, the BLM said.
BLM says this area is not accessible to the public, and there is no threat to any residences or structure.
The agency also said this is the final update on the Gothic Fire unless a significant event occurs.
The United States Air Force is working with BLM on containment efforts.
A previous version of this story misstated the level of containment of the fire. The amount of containment has not been disclosed, though firefighting efforts are 50 percent complete.
