BLM urges people in northern Nevada to prepare for fire season

CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) – The Bureau of Land Management is urging northern Nevada residents to prepare for fire season.

“We are seeing above normal grass growth resulting from above-normal precipitation this last winter and spring.” said Carson City District Fire Management Officer, Jonathan Palma.” “Because of this and recent temperatures 10-15 degrees higher than normal, the risk for wildfire is escalating quickly.”

The following precautions should always be taken to prevent wildfires:

Never leave a campfire unattended. Extinguish all campfires completely and stir ashes to make sure no hot coals remain and always make sure they are dead out.
Dispose of cigarettes in proper containers away from any flammable material.
If off-road vehicle use is allowed, internal combustion equipment should have a spark arrester.
Avoid driving though dry vegetation or parking your vehicle in high grass or dry vegetation.
Never use stoves, lanterns or heaters inside a tent.
Store flammable liquid containers in a safe place.
Do not shoot tracer bullets or incendiary ammunition.
Do not shoot in areas of dry fuels especially in times of extreme conditions such as Red Flag Warnings.
Shoot only at cardboard or paper targets or manufactured thrown-type clay targets.
Remember, shots fired across open desert can travel more than a mile and can cause a wildfire.
At the first sign of a wildfire, contact Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch Center at 775-883-5995 or call 911.

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.
