The Bureau of Land Management is actively seeking the public's assistance in identifying and locating an individual suspected of committing arson at the Sand Mountain Recreation Area in Churchill County, Nevada. The incident occurred on the evening of October 24 or the early morning hours of October 25, 2026, when a campground restroom was intentionally set on fire. According to the BLM, the structure was completely destroyed in the blaze. Churchill County firefighters and sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene and discovered the building engulfed in flames. Subsequent investigation by the Nevada State Police State Fire Marshal Division determined that the fire was deliberately set and involved the suspected use of accelerants. The building is considered a total loss, and visitors have lost access to the public restroom facility. Federal land managers are leading the investigation and have offered a $6,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. The agency is urging anyone who was present at the Sand Mountain Recreation Area during the relevant time frame and observed suspicious activity, or who possesses any information regarding the fire, to come forward. Tips can be reported directly to BLM Law Enforcement in Nevada by calling 1-800-782-7463 or by emailing BLM_NV_CCDOWebmail@blm.gov. The suspect remains at large, and authorities are emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in resolving this case of property destruction and arson.
