Hawk Fire Roars Toward Reno | Huntsville News

The Hawk Fire roared out of control, racing from the Sierra foothills toward Reno and swallowing over 10,500 acres by Sunday—forcing evacuations for nearly 14,000 homes, including areas near the University of Nevada campus. Pets were separated into different shelters, and Governor Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency, deploying the Nevada National Guard with helicopters and 60 troops. The fire, fueled by dry brush, wind, and low humidity, erupted Saturday and drew in 400 firefighters from Truckee Meadows and across agencies. Nearly 10,000 homes lost power, and U.S. Route 395 was closed in parts. Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve warned residents: evacuate immediately if ordered—your life matters more than property, and early evacuation helps firefighters win.
