FERNLEY--Attorney Robert Hager on behalf of his over 100 clients, who are Fernley flood victims, filed a temporary restraining order/mandatory injunction against the City of Fernley and Lyon County.

The order asks that the city and county clean the streets and yards of debris as a result of flooding that occurred on Jan. 5.

Attorney Treva Hearne, of Hager and Hearne law firm, argued as the city streets become drier the areas that have been contaminated with the debris will become airborne.

She said, "We want a restraining order before the court as quickly as possible to clean up the dirt, mud and silt in the streets in Fernley. It's for everyone in Fernley. You don't want to wait until the stuff is airborne."
