LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Smoke from a brush fire centered at Wetlands Park in Las Vegas was visible Tuesday afternoon.
The fire, which was seen shooting plumes of smoke into the air around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, originated in the Wetlands Park area, located northeast of Old Silver Bowl Park, off Weisner Way, according to fire officials.
Tuesday’s fire appeared to be near the location of a brush fire that charred three to five acres just before 3:30 p.m. on June 9. The cause of that fire is still under investigation.
Earlier in the year, another fire burned 34 acres in the same area. That fire, officials said, was human-caused.
First responders did not immediately disclose a suspected cause of Tuesday’s fire, but did ask people to stay clear of the area, which includes W.B. Bennett RC Airfield, while fire crews work to control the blaze.
