Storey county spans 2 Fire Restriction Areas
Each area's restriction is set by the specific federal or state agency that manages that land — BLM, the Forest Service, a national park, or a wildlife refuge. Cities, counties and the state can add their own rules on top.
The areas in this county carry different rules. The status above is the most restrictive of them. Which one applies to you depends on where
exactly you are — check the area you are in below, and call the office listed if you are unsure.

What this means
The wording in each area above is Nevada Fire Info — Interagency Fire Restrictions's own, and it is the authority for what you may burn on the land it covers. Two further systems apply on top:
Your county and fire district
They set their own outdoor burning rules and can go further than the state. Call your fire district before you burn.
Air-quality burn bans
Air-quality burn bans can apply separately from fire-risk restrictions, called on their own schedule based on conditions rather than fire danger. Check with your local air-quality agency.
Penalties in Nevada
Fire restrictions are enforced by the agency that manages the land you are on. Beyond any fine, anyone who starts a wildfire can be billed for the cost of suppression and held liable for damage to property.

Limits of this information
burnbanradar reads public burn-ban orders as published by Nevada Fire Info — Interagency Fire Restrictions and reports them unchanged. Cities and municipalities within Storey county may impose stricter rules than the county order. Water districts and state forestry rules may add further restrictions. When an order is ambiguous or the source cannot be reached, we show Unconfirmed instead of guessing a status. The county's own posted order governs.
