A board member asked whether Elko County is out of fire season; Chief Matt said the district is "close" and that he will feel more confident after snowfall but that crews remain active supporting repairs and suppression work.
Matt summarized recent operations: four personnel and two dozers were working in Midas on suppression repairs and reseeding dozer lines and are shifting to address unfinished work at the Cottonwood fire, while the Bureau of Land Management is working on the Adobe and Hot Canyon fires, which Matt said should be nearly complete.
