Just before 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning Carson City firefighters and sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Goni pits on a report of a smoking vehicle.

According to dispatch, a park ranger found the vehicle running, and it appeared it had been running for some time and had been hot-wired. The vehicle was starting to smoke when responders were dispatched to the scene.

The vehicle was located past the water tank off of the gravel road.
