Good morning, Carson City.

Jeremy Renner donated an old Carson City fire engine that was built in 1995 and decommissioned in 2018 after buying it at auction on August 2.

The engine will be refurbished as 'The Renner' to honor 89 fallen firefighters—serving as a mobile tribute at community events and outreach programs.

East Fork trustees approved a contract with Battle Born Helicopters even though the contract does not list every requirement (an attorney said the company still meets FAA rules) and many fire officials supported the move to add air services for fire and medical emergencies.

Fire officials said the helicopter will help improve responses and will be ready by next fire season.

Local chef Michelle Peters of Thunderbird Lodge explains that purslane, often mistaken for a weed, is eaten around the world including in Lebanon and used in salads or a quick stir fry to keep its texture lively (different from its poisonous cousin spurge).

National Default Servicing Corporation announced that Kelvin and Norma Bicasan’s property at 4071 Knoblock Rd will be sold at a trustee auction on October 16 at 1:00 p.m. at the Carson City County Courthouse front entrance—initial unpaid balance is approximately $450,800.85 and the opening bid may vary based on total indebtedness.
