However, officials say they hope to quell the fire before it reaches any structures and no evacuations have been ordered as of 11:15 a.m.
The fire is also destroyed several power lines running through the canyon Saturday night and power to Carson City could be affected throughout the day.
A Type I Great Basin Incident Management Team is moving into place from the Jackass fire and will assume command of the Six Mile fire at 6:00 this evening. A command post has been established at Dayton High School.
