On Wednesday afternoon, May 15, the right lane of eastbound I-80 east of Sparks near Patrick was closed as crews tackled several small brush fires along the railroad tracks between Vista Boulevard and Mustang, affecting both Washoe and Storey counties.
Firefighting units from Truckee Meadows Fire, Storey County Fire, and Sparks Fire responded to the incident. The quick coordination between these agencies helped to contain the fires and minimize the impact on traffic and surrounding areas.
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fires. No further information is available at this time.
