Firefighters were called to the remote eastern Elko County community recently after a man was awakened by the smell of smoke and saw flames coming out the chimney. Firefighters worked through the night to extinguish the blaze and keep it from spreading into wildlands, but the mobile home was destroyed, according to Steven Hamilton of the Elko County Fire Protection District. The fire could have been caused by a lack of maintenance or a mechanical problem following high winds in the region, Hamilton said. The home's occupant told fire officials that he had not cleaned out the chimney this year.
