Later today, winds are expected to shift to the northwest, according to the July 23 community briefing, steering the fire away from the Pine Nut Mountains HA (go to 12:35 in this video).
The burned area is now 65,100 acres with 4% containment. The section along Highway 395 falls under Division O in this morning’s 9:00 AM report.
This photo was taken yesterday from the west side of the Virginia Range, about 50 miles north of the fire.
