The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that one person is dead after a recreational aircraft crash that led to a fire on Slide Mountain. Deputies believe the aircraft was a glider, typically pulled behind a tow plane. The US Forest Service, says the Slide fire has burned 64 acres and is 50 percent contained. The fire is about a mile southeast of Winters Creek Lodge at Mount Rose Ski Resort, but officials say the lodge is not threatened. According to Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Chief Charles Moore said the Slide Fire is “looking a lot better” and is not growing.
