Description:
Conner Fire – Carson City District BLM
On June 20, 2025, at approximately 1700, a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) firefighter sustained second-degree burn injuries to the hands, wrists and face while suppressing the Conner Fire on the BLM Carson City District. At the time of the incident, the engine crew was assigned to hold and secure the fire edge along a mountain road when erratic, high winds caused a sudden and dramatic increase in fire behavior, exposing one crewmember to flame and radiant heat.
