Highway 395 closed at Holbrook Junction

Highway 395 is closed at Holbrook Junction as firefighters battle a rekindled Larson fire above Coleville High School. Both of Coleville's schools have been evacuated to the Mountain Warfare Training Center community center.

Residents along Highway 395 from Larson to Cunningham lanes have been told to leave their homes.

Lightning started the fire on Friday afternoon and it quickly grew to 150 acres. Firefighters managed to get a line most of the way around it by today, but high winds and low humidity may have contributed to its rekindling.

Downslope winds of up to 30 mph have been forecast for today. Coleville is located about 40 miles south of Gardnerville.
