Пожарная служба предупреждает жителей Невады об опасности стрельбы по мишеням

TMFR warns residents of target shooting dangers RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue is warning residents to exercise caution while target shooting. They say several recent fires have been caused by target shooting. “We encourage anyone participating in outdoor target shooting to bring a fire extinguisher, water, or hand tools so you can quickly extinguish a small fire if one starts,” said Fire Chief Richard Edwards. “Postpone target shooting on hot, windy days, when even a small spark can spread quickly and ignite a wildfire. Always place your targets on dirt or gravel, well away from dry grass, leaves, brush, and trees, and avoid shooting in rocky areas where bullets can create sparks.” Fire officials say anyone choosing to target shoot should do so early in the morning, in wildland, and when temperatures and higher moisture levels reduce the risk of igniting dry vegetation. Residents are advised to consider using the Washoe County Regional Shooting Facility instead. Copyright 2026 KOLO. All rights reserved.
