The burned bear from the Davis Fire had to be euthanized, according to the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The bear was found by firefighters but was too badly burned to survive.
It was quite warm out on Tuesday with Minden-Tahoe Airport’s automated weather system recording a high of 86 degrees. I saw some bank clocks that reported 88 degrees in town, and it sure felt like it.
Today’s going to have a similar high temperature, but with 10-15 mph southwest winds added to the mix. It will keep going after midnight with gusts of 25 mph. Gusty winds and low humidity has prompted the Weather Service to warn of increased fire danger this afternoon.
