TL;DR Summary
A fast-spreading, human-caused wildfire near Reno expanded to over 23 square miles, forcing about 90,000 residents into evacuation and warning zones with zero containment as shifting winds drove extreme fire behavior. Nevada Governor Lombardo declared a state of emergency and mobilized the National Guard and roughly 800 firefighters; thousands lost power and major routes like US 395 were closed. Evacuation centers opened in Reno–Sparks, residents fled homes with possessions as flames jumped across roads, and officials warned conditions could worsen for days as crews battled the blaze.
