School to serve as command center

The effort to combat wildfires in the Ely area has resulted in an “all hands on deck” approach from units of government - and even the Ely School District has joined in that effort.

The school campus is being turned into an incident command center.

“The Ely Public School is preparing our campus to serve as the U.S. Forest Service Incident Command Center in support of the ongoing wildfire response. We’re proud to partner with the dedicated men and women working to keep our communities safe,” the district posted online.
