Como Fire 100% Contained

Posted: Updated:

Firefighters say a lightning-sparked brushfire between Mason Valley and Dayton is now 100% contained.

The 768-acre 'Como Fire' started on Sunday in the area of Mount Como, about 2.5 miles south of Rawe Peak in the Pinenut Mountains. That area is 8-10 miles southeast of Dayton.

Officials say no homes are threatened.

The fire is burning in rocky, steep, difficult to access, grass, and brush and pinyon-juniper woodland.

Approximately 199 personnel, 2 helicopters, 1 water tender, 6 hand crews, 5 engines and one dozer are currently fighting the fire. Crews are now mopping up and rehabing the area around the fire perimeter.

One firefighter suffered a minor eye injury.
