Yerington's Dollar General was indefinitely closed Wednesday for fire code violations.
Mason Valley Fire Protection District Chief Scott Draper said he received two complaints on Wednesday. When fire staff arrived at the store, located at 181 N. Main St., nine out of 15 aisles were blocked by boxes, dollies and merchandise.
"They've constantly had their aisles blocked," Draper said. "It was the worst we've seen it – ever."
He said the store has had ongoing violations since it opened in 2012.
Draper said the store also had other violations, including not having serviced its sprinkler system and non-functioning emergency lighting.
Draper said the Nevada State Fire Marshal was called in to assist with shuttering the business.
"The best option for public safety was to shut them down until they resolve these issues," Draper said. "It's completely up to them how fast they get back in there."
