The Little Valley Fire, which started early Friday morning north of Carson City in Washoe Valley, destroying 23 homes, 17 outbuildings, and chewing through 2,291 acres, was declared 100 percent contained Wednesday evening, according to Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch Center.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Firefighters will continue to reinforce the fire line perimeter, grid the area for hots spots, and continue to mop-up to ensure no fire growth occurs and the existing footprint of the fire does not change.
A transfer of command is scheduled to occur on Friday morning from Martin’s Type 1 Great Basin Incident Management Team to a local Type 3 incident management organization. All roads are now open.
