Last night the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office received the report of an active land fire just West of the 107 overpass of Interstate 80.
Because of high winds the fire quickly spread within minutes towards a power station, power lines, and a cell tower.
Thankfully with the quick response from our local Fire Department, BLM Fire Department, Police Department, and Sheriffs Office, the fire was subsequently extinguished.
Throw back training with Brian Howard.
Miss you buddy…

On October 26, 2021, at approximately 8:30 am The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office received the report of a truck driver who’s semi became stuck in the mud near the Coal Canyon Road/Stillwater Road area of Pershing County Nevada.
This came after a major storm hit the Pacific Northwest over the weekend which brought constant rain fall causing unsafe road conditions, washouts and mud.
The driver of the semi had already spent the night in the remote area, had no more diesel and no longer had power to charge his cell phone to call for help.
Deputy Thornhill of the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office was able to subsequently locate the driver and bring him out of the elements.
This incident is a good reminder to all residents and visitors who come to Pershing County, Nevada, that weather conditions change at a moment's notice and to always stay prepared.
Plan ahead by being aware of your surroundings and pay attention to the weather/road conditions.
At the end of the day, we are just glad everyone made it home safe!

Pershing County Sheriffs Office Official Statement:
A person is dead after stabbing a police dog and resisting arrest on Wednesday June 17, 2020.
The deceased is a male motorist who’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Pershing County deputies went to the Humboldt Sink area about 12 miles west of Lovelock and about 73 miles east of Reno on a report of a motorist who needed help. The deputies ran a warrants check on the motorist and found there was an warrant for his arrest.
The motorist resisted arrest and an attempt to use a TASER was unsuccessful.
The motorist got into his early model Winnebago and refused to get out and drove away, colliding with a patrol vehicle head, forcing it off the road. The sheriff’s office pursued and the Winnebago struck patrol vehicles at least two more times.
After a short chase, they got the Winnebago to stop. The motorist refused to exit his vehicle and a police dog was deployed and the motorist got out of the Winnebago and began stabbing the dog in the neck with a large knife.
Having exhausted all other options, a Pershing County Deputy discharged his service firearm at the motorist striking him in the upper torso.
The motorist was taken by ambulance to Pershing General Hospital and died from a gunshot wound.
The police dog involved will make a full recovery.
