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.

Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign submitted the required number of valid signatures in order to appear on Nevada’s ballot in November, the secretary of state’s office confirmed Friday.
Kennedy’s campaign in Nevada submitted more than 22,000 valid signatures to county clerks in early July in order to qualify as an independent presidential candidate.
In a notice sent Friday, the secretary of state’s office said that based on the examination conducted by county election officials, the office determined that the total number of signatures exceeds the number of valid signatures necessary to declare the petition for candidacy necessary.
The Kennedy campaign must next submit the names of the six primary and six alternate electors that would certify the election for Kennedy if he were to win.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The development of the College of Southern Nevada’s Northwest campus has taken another step forward after the state allocated $4.5 million for the planning phase, said CSN’s Vice President of Academic Affairs James McCoy.
He showed me the plans that they’ve come up with so far, which includes photos from similar campuses in other parts of the country.
“The blue would be a 60,000 square foot law enforcement academy coupled with some general education and student support services to support those students and others throughout the northwest,” he told me as he pointed to the tentative plans. “It would include the parking as we talk about the land development. You need that. It will include the central plant to operate the campus and the building.”
They’re still deciding on whether an emergency vehicle operations course will be included in phase one.
The reason he calls them potential plans is because the project is based on funding by the state legislature.
“Our goal is to be 100% construction documents in hand by the time the legislative session is wrapping up, so June of 2025,” he said.
Then come the inspections and everything else needed before construction can begin.
As for the cost of the actual construction, it’s yet to be determined.
“Still a work in progress,” said McCoy. “We’ll know much more as the state public works prepares for the presentations of all the capital projects for the entire state. That is slated for Aug.28 and 29.”
By the time it’s all said and done, the first phase has to be shovel ready by June 2026, or else they risk losing the land.
