Fire crews are on scene of a brush fire, caused by a plane crash, above Davis Creek in Washoe Valley. There is no containment on the Slide fire, which has burned an estimated 40 acres. There are no structures threatened, but officials are asking residents to be ready to leave if the wind changes direction and moves the fire towards structures. The fire is about a mile southeast of Winters Creek Lodge at Mount Rose Ski Resort, burning northeast in timber and brush.
