Wildfire approaches Reno, Nevada, forcing thousands to evacuate their neighborhoods

The fast-growing Hawk Fire, which has expanded to over 10,500 acres, is currently threatening neighborhoods in northwest Reno, Nevada. Early Sunday, authorities issued evacuation orders for nearly 14,000 homes as the blaze moved from the Sierra foothills toward the city center. The emergency response has escalated to include the University of Nevada campus, which now sits at the edge of the designated “GO NOW” evacuation zone.

Local officials are managing the rapid spread of the fire as it encroaches on populated areas. The situation remains critical for residents in the affected regions, with emergency services coordinating the evacuation of thousands of individuals to ensure public safety as the fire continues to advance.
