History
From 1 July 2013 to 18 August 2013, the Carpenter 1 Fire took place in the Spring Mountains and impacted the Trout Canyon area after lightning struck the area. The wildfire damaged the over 50 years old water system of Trout Canyon, which used metal pipes constructed of World War II-era ammunition canisters that collected spring water to provide it to the community. On 19 August 2013, Las Vegas Valley Water District agreed to make repairs to the system for $35,000. The repairs were nearly complete when the pipeline was washed away by a flash flood.[1][2] As of 2018, multiple homes in the community still had dry taps.[3]
On July 7, 2018, another, smaller wildfire in Trout Canyon caused by a lightning strike burned 50 acres of land.[4]
