Wildfire Partially Closes Highway In Northern Nevada

GARDNERVILLE, Nev. (AP) — A northern Nevada highway remained partially closed Tuesday in both directions south of Gardnerville in Douglas County because of a wildfire that has burned a reported eight square miles.

The closure of U.S. 395 was at the junction with State Route 208. One home and several other buildings were reported destroyed since the fire was reported Monday.

No cause was reported. Douglas County officials recommended that residents evacuate several areas, include Pine View Estates and Bodie Flat.
