Candidates Night is about giving our community an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates, learn more about the issues, and stay engaged in the future of Winnemucca.

This year, Heart of the Mucc will join the Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce as a co-sponsor of Candidates Night, with our very own Harold Gudmundsen serving as MC.

Both organizations have a strong record of investing in our community.

Heart of the Mucc regularly supports local organizations and nonprofit projects. Their efforts have included supporting the Bridge Street businesses during the downtown renovation and construction project, as well as a recent $23,000 donation benefiting our local Vietnam Veterans group and improvements to the restrooms to support Winnemucca Little League.

The Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce provides opportunities for local businesses and community members to connect, build relationships, and support our local economy. The Chamber also hosts community events and fundraisers, including Sip & Shop events and its annual Murder Mystery Dinner to raise funds and support scholarships for Lowry High School graduates.

Thank you to Heart of the Mucc and the Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce for helping make Candidates Night possible and for the work both organizations continue to do throughout our community.

Incident Update: McConnell Fire

September 2, 2026



Acres: 32,851

Start Date: August 25, 2026

Containment: 46%

Cause: Lightning

Total Personnel: 391

Fuels: Brush, Grass, and Timber

Total Resources: 11 crews | 8 helicopters | 10 engines | 4 dozers

Location: 3 miles northeast of Orovada

Summary: Firefighters continue to make progress on the McConnell Fire, increasing containment to 46%. On the western and northwestern portions, crews are patrolling, mopping up, and securing areas that continue to cool. On the eastern side in the Santa Rosa Range, hotshot crews are working through rugged terrain to secure remaining active areas, supported by helicopters conducting bucket work and delivering supplies. Additional helispots have been established to improve access, and another Type 1 helicopter is expected to arrive Wednesday. On the southern portion, firefighters will continue to use limited firing operations to reduce the potential for fire to cross control features.

A swing shift is providing additional coverage on the eastern side overnight where gusty downslope winds could affect fire behavior. Overall fire activity has moderated with most activity expected to consist of unburned vegetation continuing to burn within the fire perimeter.

Weather: Cooler and more humid conditions are expected Wednesday with temperatures dropping 10 to 12 degrees and daytime humidity increasing into the 20% range. Southwest winds may gust around 30 mph. Light showers are possible Wednesday and Thursday with the best chance for precipitation Thursday night into Friday.

Evacuations and Closures: Evacuation zones established in and around areas of the Fire were updated by the Humboldt County officials yesterday. The areas of Paradise Valley and Orovada have been reduced to Level 1 “Get Ready” and the sections C9, C10, and C11 are in Level 2 “Get Set”. Sections B9 and B10 remain in Level 1 “Get Ready” status.



The most current evacuation information can be found at perimetermap.com/humboldt. Authorities are asking the public to remain vigilant and be safe as fire suppression and restoration efforts continue.

All National Forest lands, roads, and trails east of Hinkey Summit Road #50084 within the Santa Rosa Ranger District of the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest are closed to the public per Forest Closure order 04-17-26-10-02.
