Eleven years ago on this day, the 8,700 acre Waterfall Fire near Carson City started from an abandoned campfire on July 14, 2004; it was fully contained on July 20, 2004 after destroying 18 homes.
Go here for a story and photos written last year marking the 10th anniversary by AroundCarson.com’s Scott Schrantz.
See the “lesson’s learned” report issued by the state’s Fire Warden in the attachment below and a video of the fire.
