The Grapevine Fire is estimated at 26,464 acres and is 95 percent contained, Nevada Incident Management Team #4 said Saturday.
Firefighters continue to patrol and secure containment lines on the Grapevine Fire, located in Lincoln County’s Caliente area, with scattered pockets of residual heat still present across interior areas. Supression repair operations are ongoing, with teams restoring dozer lines and addressing disturbed areas in an effort to support long-term recovery while maintaining public safety.
Division personnel are monitoring for potential flare-ups along the fire edges, interior islands and sections of handline that may be exposed to wind or slope influence.
Caliente is located 140 miles north of Las Vegas.
