Thirty fires from lightning strikes kept firefighters from multiple agencies busy throughout the weekend, with eight fires continuing into Monday and Tuesday of this week.

Tuesday, National Park Service representative Judy Suing said the last fire, in Wheeler Canyon, would be out later that evening.

Suing also said another fire started Monday night with a single tree struck by lightning in the Mt. Charleston wilderness. A helicopter dropped two firefighters who worked through the evening and got the blaze under control and out early Tuesday morning. The firefighters then hiked out.

On Sunday, helicopter attack teams dropped at least one team of firefighters onto the peak of Mt. Charleston, according to Vance Payne, Nye County safety officer.

The Williams blaze in Trout Canyon covered about one acre and was located about one and a half miles from the small community located there. The fire was aggressively fought by a helicopter, a single-engine air tanker, three fire engines and a hot shot crew.

"I can't report on all the different agencies," Payne said. "There were a lot of jurisdictions in the area due to the immediate nature of the situation. I can just tell you there are a lot of guys spread out all over the place.

"The Bureau of Land Management has incident command, and we answered them on Saturday, sending apparatus toward Red Rock."

Payne said the two trucks sent by Nye County -- a brush truck and an engine -- were diverted to other areas once they were under way.

"Down here, we had a blaze on Mt. Potosi and another one just south, toward Sandy Valley," said Payne.

Monday, one of the county's engines was released due to high wind and lightning. As of Monday, the county still had a brush truck working according to Payne. "They have been out for three days."

Apparently, there were also many lightning strikes toward Ash Meadows and Amargosa Valley.
