- Sparks fire station reopens after staffing issues

- Description
- The city of Sparks reopened Fire Station 6, located at 6963 Scheidbar Road on August 5.
The station had been temporarily unstaffed while the city evaluated response and deployment data. Authorities say all fire stations in the city are open and operational.
Officials say the reopening of Station 6 is made possible, in part, by the recently approved interlocal agreement between the cities of Sparks and Reno, which allows the two fire departments to work together under the shared leadership of Chief Dave Cochran while remaining separate organizations.
The goal of the agreement is to allow the closest available fire crews to respond to emergencies, regardless of city boundaries.
"I am very excited about the reopening of Fire Station 6," Sparks Mayor Ed Lawson said in a statement. "We're making smarter use of the resources we already have to improve coverage and response times for our residents. This regional response partnership with Ren...

- Description
- Back in 2020, the devastating Castle Fire swept through California, killing hundreds of mature, giant sequoias in its path.
The blaze prompted experts from UNR to examine how these larger-than-life beasts can better withstand future fires. Their answer?
"Prescribed fire or tree thinning or different types of fuel reduction," said Bryant Nagelson, UNR staff researcher.
Nagelson and Sarah Bisbing, an Associate Professor of Forestry at UNR, teamed up with fellow experts to study the Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest, located in the southern Sierra Nevada. It's home to the world's largest giant sequoia grove.
They found that land treated ahead of the Castle Fire, whether by state foresters or Indigenous people, cut the number of sequoia deaths in half.
"Fire can move through the forest floor. It can burn everything, and it hits the sequoia, and the sequoia's bark is so thick, and the trees are so large, and the needles...

- Description
- What does it take to build one of the top-performing schools in Nevada?
For JWood Raw Elementary, the answer started before the first student ever walked through the doors.
The school opened in 2023 and quickly rose to the top of the Nevada School Performance Framework rankings, earning a 99 score for the 2024-25 school year — the highest score among elementary, middle, and high schools statewide.
But school leaders say the success was not built overnight. It started with creating a strong foundation for students, teachers, and families.
Principal Jonna AuCoin was hired a year before the school opened, giving her time to build relationships and prepare the school community.
“I was lucky enough to be the first principal here. We opened in 2023. And I got the job maybe a year before, so I had a year of planning time to really prepare and get the community together,” AuCoin said.

- Description
- A Senate committee has voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during questioning about the COVID-19 pandemic, federal research funding, and the Wuhan laboratory.
Sen. Rand Paul argues that Fauci’s presidential pardon removed his grounds for refusing to answer. Fauci’s attorneys maintain that he was exercising his constitutional rights and call the contempt effort politically motivated.
The committee vote is not a criminal conviction, and the Justice Department must decide whether further action is warranted. In this video, we examine what happened, why Fauci invoked the Fifth, and what could come next.

- As new warehouses, factories and data centers rise along USA Parkway, the Storey County Sheriff’s Office says organized criminals are following the development into the high desert.
The Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, east of Sparks, opened in 2000 and is billed as the largest industrial park in the country.
The development stretches along much of the 19-mile USA Parkway corridor and includes Tesla, data centers, distribution centers, trucking companies and other industrial operations.
“Growth, lots of growth, exponential growth,” Storey County Sheriff Mike Cullen said. “Tesla started out there pretty much the beginning, but we’ve seen all kinds of companies come in, from internet companies, to oil refineries, to trucking companies.”
That growth is creating new demands for a sheriff’s office once focused primarily on Virginia City and Storey County’s roughly 4,000 residents.

- President Donald Trump defended his family’s tax settlement after a reporter questioned whether they were receiving special treatment from the IRS.
Trump claimed the agreement had been settled before he entered politics but was later reopened and “weaponized” against him after he announced his presidential campaign. He also voiced support for a fund intended to compensate people who Republicans say were unfairly targeted by the federal government, though he said he would not personally participate in it.
Trump was also asked about Todd Blanche and briefly criticized MS NOW during the exchange.

- The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a string of deliberate tree poisonings at Burnt Cedar Beach after multiple trees were recently found contaminated.
Deputies first responded to the beach on July 24, after a strong odor was discovered near the base of a large pine tree.
Soil samples collected from the scene carried a distinct smell consistent with previous tree-poisoning incidents reported at the property.
Investigators returned to Burnt Cedar Beach on August 2 after additional trees were found with a suspicious substance poured around their bases.
Authorities believe the most recent attack occurred between 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 1, and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 2.
A trail camera in the area captured a brief flash of light around 2:00 a.m. on August 2.

- Camp David hosted President Donald Trump's Cabinet meeting for the first time in his second term on Friday.
Trump touched on the war with Iran, inflation, border security and a range of other issues, highlighting what he viewed as his administration's accomplishments and ongoing challenges.
All Cabinet members were present, except for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who had a family commitment, according to a White House pool report.
Trump, who called Camp David a “special place,” started the meeting by ticking off a list of achievements and contrasting them with what he called the “disaster” of the previous administration.
Trump highlighted what he described as a 125-year low in the murder rate, cooling inflation reflected in price cuts at big retailers like Walmart, and record-setting gains on Wall Street.
A report Thursday showed annual inflation in June was 3.7%, an improvement from the 4.1% recorded in May...

- Description
- As new warehouses, factories and data centers rise along USA Parkway, the Storey County Sheriff’s Office says organized criminals are following the development into the high desert.
The Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, east of Sparks, opened in 2000 and is billed as the largest industrial park in the country.
The development stretches along much of the 19-mile USA Parkway corridor and includes Tesla, data centers, distribution centers, trucking companies and other industrial operations.
That growth is creating new demands for a sheriff’s office once focused primarily on Virginia City and Storey County’s roughly 4,000 residents.
These construction sites can bring thousands of workers into the county at once. They also contain expensive tools, copper and building supplies that can attract thieves.

- Description
- Teacher vacancies are down significantly in Washoe County and Carson City school districts compared to previous years, but some of the hardest positions to fill remain open as students prepare to return to the classroom.
District leaders say hiring efforts have made a difference, but special education and other high-need areas continue to be a challenge.
Washoe County School District says it currently has about 50 open teacher positions heading into the new school year. Chief Human Resource Officer Doug Owen says the number can change quickly during the summer hiring period.
“So our vacancy count typically changes pretty rapidly right now, this time of year. But we're about 50 open teacher vacancies at the moment. About 30 of those are in our special education space, so we've got about 20 general educations,” Owen said.
While the number of openings is much lower than in previous years, some parents say even a small number of vacan...

- Description
- When students return to classrooms later this month in Carson City, they will no longer be allowed to wear smart glasses on campus.
Beginning Aug. 18, students in the Carson City School District will be prohibited from wearing smart glasses or other wearable electronic communication devices while on school campuses or at school-sponsored activities.
District leaders said the decision grew out of conversations about testing, privacy and the rapid evolution of technology.
Cheryl Macy, the principal at Carson High School, said questions were raised about whether students could wear smart glasses during high-stakes testing.
Unlike traditional eyewear, smart glasses can record video, take photos, livestream and communicate with others, often without people realizing they are being recorded.
School officials said that capability raises concerns about privacy in classrooms and across campuses.

- Description
- Nearly 100 homes were damaged when flash flooding swept through Hidden Valley in June, displacing several families and leaving many facing an uncertain path to recovery.
Among them are Alan and Teresa Gubanich, who watched as floodwaters rushed into their home.
When the water receded, the couple found inches of mud and extensive damage throughout the house.
The Gubanichs are currently living with friends while contractors continue cleanup. Their insurance denied their claim, and they said each step forward has revealed more issues.
The couple has already spent more than $40,000 on emergency cleanup, with tens of thousands more expected for restoration, flooring, drywall, paint, appliances and other repairs.
That community support helped prompt IBEW Local 401 to join this month’s Reno’s Acts of Kindness effort. “We truly believe that we are invested in the community, and anything we can do to help give back is why ...

- Meet Badger and Banjo: NDOW’s trained dogs help keep Nevada’s black bears wild

- Description
- When a black bear becomes too comfortable roaming through a neighborhood or searching for food near homes, the Nevada Department of Wildlife may call in two fearless, four-legged specialists.
Badger and Banjo are Karelian Bear Dogs trained to work alongside NDOW wildlife biologists during bear hazing operations. Their job is not to catch or fight the bear. Instead, the dogs bark, chase and sometimes nip at the animal to create an unpleasant experience around people and developed areas.
The non-lethal technique, known as aversive conditioning, is designed to restore a bear’s natural wariness of humans.
By making the encounter stressful and uncomfortable, biologists hope the bear will leave the neighborhood, return to a wild habitat and think twice before coming back for another easy meal.
The dogs assist NDOW bear team members Carl Lackey and Becca Carniello as they manage Nevada’s black bear population and respond to human-bear co...
