Wildfire safety: who to call

n Kelly Clark, education and conservation chief for the Nevada Department of Wildlife, recommends taking action to reduce bear attractants, including storing outdoor garbage in metal bear-proof containers, found at most local hardware stores.

Don't keep outdoor fish or grow food in outdoor areas near your home, she said, because bears are known for their attraction to ponds and orchards.

For bear trapping and removal, call the Nevada Department of Wildlife at 688-1500.

-- Evelyn Pickles of the Dayton Valley Wildlife Rest Stop advises to keep injured animals in a warm, quiet place and don't give them food or water. Concerned animal lovers have been calling her, wanting to adopt Knolla as a pet, but Pickles said Knolla is wild and will stay that way. She plans to release the fawn as soon as she makes a full recovery. For injured wild animal care, call a veterinarian or the Dayton Valley Wildlife Rest Stop at 246-0470 or the Nevada Department of Wildlife at 688-1500.
