**Start Date/Time/Location** The Burnt Canyon Fire ignited on June 11, 2025, at approximately 12:13 PM Pacific Standard Time, in remote, steep terrain approximately 65 miles southeast of Ely, Nevada, in Lincoln County[2][3][5]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest update, the Burnt Canyon Fire has burned approximately 1,068 acres and is now 80% contained. The nearby Rosencrans Fire, which ignited about an hour later, has burned around 727 acres and is 75% contained[1][2][5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Both fires grew significantly overnight due to challenging weather conditions, including high temperatures, low relative humidity, and strong winds. However, they are now holding within their established perimeters, with firefighters working to strengthen control lines and extinguish hot spots[1][2][5]. **Containment Efforts** The response efforts are led by the Bureau of Land Management, with assistance from the U.S. Forest Service and the Nevada Division of Forestry. Firefighters are using hand crews, dozers, engines, and aircraft as necessary to construct and improve control lines and conduct mop-up operations[1][2][5].
