Fire bird
According to the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District, it was a large bird that caused the Berry Fire, which started in Washoe Valley on Friday, Aug. 17. According to a tweet from TMFPD’s Twitter account, the bird, which was “nesting on power pole,” took flight and shorted an electrical line. That short caused a secondary short on another power pole causing two separate fires.” The fire was 100 percent contained at 12.3 acres on Saturday evening. Fire officials said one outbuilding was destroyed in the fire.
