Tie Fire Hazen NV
Author: inyosub

Looks like there is a large Tie Fire out at Hazen where the Fallon and Mina branches connect
with the UP east - west main.  
It's available to AlertWildfire  Nevada Eagle Peak can. 
I can't post a link so you are on your own.  Just what we needed, another damn fire.   uggg.

Huh? Maybe a pile of replaced ties? I mean there's not much else to burn in Hazen. 

Out

Is the gas station still open? Couple trailers and tar shacks called houses. Pink Cadillac in 1990 had good shots of Hazen, when there is of it

Hers is drone view of the Hazen Tie piles about 15 month ago. Quite a lot of fuel to burn

Was able to get very close to the Hazen tie fire before they closed the roads.  Many tens of thousands of ties ablaze. 

There was quite a bit of wind. Thankfully ties don't appear to throw off embers to start downwind fires.  

Quite the blaze today! We knew it was only a matter of time.

A friend who works for UP sent me a short video and
a photo of this fire yesterday! Unfortunately I can't
foward them here or or sites!

Looks like the Hazen tie yard is back in business! They cleaned the place up fast and there are already large stacks of old ties in place. 

How many tie date nails do you think were left over after the fire?
