A third wildfire, called the Stallion Fire, broke out Monday near Pyramid Lake in Washoe County, growing to roughly 1,000 acres with no containment, reports 2 News Nevada.

The fire started southeast of the lake in the area of Stallion Drive and Rodero Road, east of the Bug Fire and Fred Mountain Fire that Dog Friendly Las Vegas has been tracking since the weekend.

The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe has closed State Route 446 to the junction of State Route 445 and 446, cutting off public access to the lake from that direction.

People traveling between Nixon and Sutcliffe may still be allowed through, but they need to have identification and tribal identification ready to present.

Tribal officials issued an evacuation warning for the Nixon area, meaning residents should be prepared to leave if conditions worsen.

Officials also told all tribal members and cattlemen in the fire’s path to leave the area, a reminder that livestock and working animals face the same evacuation pressure as household pets during a fast-moving fire.

Pyramid Lake itself is closed to boating and watercraft through Tuesday, since firefighting aircraft are authorized to dip into the lake for water to fight both the Stallion Fire and the nearby Bug Fire.

The closure covers the rest of Monday and all of Tuesday, according to a tribal notice.

The Stallion Fire adds a third active blaze to a Washoe County wildfire complex that already includes the Bug Fire, now near 17,000 acres, and the Fred Mountain Fire, burning at more than 3,400 acres with no containment.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency Monday for parts of Washoe County and the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony affected by the fires.

Anyone with pets or livestock in the Nixon, Sutcliffe, or Pyramid Lake area should treat the evacuation warning seriously and prepare a plan now rather than waiting for an order.

That means a way to transport animals, food and water for several days, and current vaccination records in case a shelter or boarding facility asks for them.

Washoe County Regional Animal Services is continuing to take in small animals, including dogs, at its shelter on Longley Lane in Reno, and a separate large-animal shelter is operating at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center.

We have more detail on those shelter options in our earlier coverage of the Bug Fire’s growth, and will continue reporting on the Stallion Fire as conditions develop.
