RENO — Northern Nevada fire investigators say target shooters sparked a wildland blaze that has burned about 184 acres north of Reno.
Multiple aircraft helped drop water on the Chimney Fire that broke out shortly after noon Thursday north of Sun Valley Regional Park.
No injuries have been reported and no structures are currently threatened. The fire was estimated to be 75 percent contained Friday afternoon with full containment expected by the end of the day.
U.S. Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman Lisa Ross confirmed target shooters are to blame but she said no other details are available.
