The Southwest Area Incident Management Team 1 transferred command of the Davis Fire to a local Type 4 organization. The local Type 4 organization, led by Incident Commander James Smith, is primarily comprised of local resources from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and Nevada Division of Forestry. Fire crews continue to look for heat, mop up hot spots, and patrol containment lines. Additionally, ground resources continue with suppression repair. 

The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest further decreased the emergency area closure on the Davis Fire. Any National Forest System lands within the fire footprint remains closed. This includes Forest Service roads 41040, 41041, and 41727, as well as the Ophir Creek Trail. Additionally, Washoe County Parks and Recreation has closed the Browns Trail. For more details, please refer to the Emergency Fire Closure document and map at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/htnf/alerts-notices/?aid=90526.

A Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team has been established by the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest to begin a burned area assessment of National Forest System lands affected by the Davis Fire. The team will share their findings with local agencies to assist them with their analysis of impacted private and county lands. For more information on the BAER response for the Davis Fire, visit: https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/nvhtf-davis-fire-burned-area-emergency-response-baer.

Updates or additional information will be posted when needed on the Davis Fire InciWeb page and Facebook and X sites belonging to the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue. The fire information phone and email are no longer staffed, but questions can still be directed to the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest’s Carson Ranger District at 775-882-2766 or Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue at 775-326-6000 or info@TMFPD.us.
