This afternoon, we started seeing and smelling smoke in Carson City, but so far, no one has been been able to pinpoint the source.

The Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch Center does not show any current fires in our area at this time. The closest fires they show are in New Mexico. Another possibility could be controlled burns in the Tahoe area. If anyone has any information on where the smoke is coming from, let us know.

Carson City fire investigators have not yet determined what started a fire late this morning that nearly destroyed a building that housed a mattress supply business and a hair salon.

The investigation shows the fire began at around 11:45 this morning on the east exterior of the building, said Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi. The two businesses, Mattress King and High Desert Hair, won't be able to operate anytime soon, Giomi said.

Firefighters assigned to a structure fire at the Mattress King building on Fairview Drive in Carson City, apparently had problems with a water hydrant at the corner of Idaho and Industrial streets.

In fact witnesses watched firefighters trying to tap into the hydrant without luck as the fire raged on, growing hotter with the smoke becoming a dense black, a sign of rising temperatures within the building.

She also said she heard an explosion shortly after the fire started. Traffic is being rerouted around this area because of the smoke, so if you're driving around, stay away.
