Crews have contained a wildfire that broke out late Wednesday in Wetlands Park in the east valley, according to a fire official.
Multiple calls came in just before 11:20 p.m. about a fire at the park, said Assistant Fire Chief Larry Haydu with the Clark County Fire Department.
The first crews to arrive found the fire burning in an area considered inaccessible, and they requested help from the Bureau of Land Management. The park's walking path was able to contain the fire, and crews worked to reinforce the perimeter as it burned about 10 acres, according to Haydu.
As of 4:50 a.m. Thursday, Haydu said the fire was contained, but active fires were still burning inside the perimeter.
Crews from the BLM and Nevada Division of Forestry would stay on scene through the day, and another hand crew would come in at daybreak to help with mop-up, Haydu said.
