Central Lyon County Fire Protection District was dispatched early Sunday morning, 12:37 a.m., to a commercial structure fire near Toiyabe and Spruce Streets in Silver Springs.
On arrival, Central Lyon Fire crews saw fire and smoke showing from a power pole plant. One employee of the power pole plant was present and evacuated. There are no reported injuries.
Due to the wood and diesel fuels present, Central Lyon Fire isolated the fire to one area of the facility while it self-mitigates.
CLCFPD advises people to avoid the area Sunday.
Crews from NV Energy, Southwest Gas, and Storey County Fire Protection District have assisted in the response.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
