Firefighters battle a series of mini grass fires on south Lompa Ranch, south of 5th

Several spot fires burning at south end of Lompa Ranch off 5th Street
Carson City Firefighters had to drive through a section of Lompa Ranch, south of 5th street, just to get near several spot fires. A Brush rig drove through the muck and mud to get to the small blazes which were burning in tall weeds – or at least what looked like tall weeds through long-range binoculars. No cause yet released. Probably be released sometime Thursday.
