The Pinehaven Fire that flared up Monday afternoon in southwest Reno is fully contained.
Firefighters say the 206-acre fire started around 12:30pm Monday off of Lakeridge Drive.
No structures were ever threatened and no one was hurt.
The area is closed to the public and onlookers are asked to stay out of the area for the safety of themselves and fire personnel.
Washoe County Deputies are still looking for the man suspected of deliberately starting the fire in his car after he refused to pull over and crashed.
