Nearly 90,000 people have been told to evacuate or prepare to leave parts of Reno, Nevada, as a fast-moving wildfire burns with zero percent containment. The fire, which began Sunday, has burned more than 15,000 acres and destroyed homes in northwest Reno, challenging firefighters due to shifting winds. Officials have determined the fire was human caused.
While the exact number of evacuees varies across reports, approximately 42,000 people have been evacuated, and nearly 14,000 more are preparing to leave. A state of emergency has been declared, bringing in federal responders to assist local firefighters in protecting residential areas. Left-leaning outlets emphasize the scale of the evacuation – nearly 90,000 people – while right-leaning coverage highlights the fire’s rapid spread and the difficulty it posed for crews, noting it jumped over fire trucks. Not in dispute is the fact that homes have been destroyed.
The fire has burned around 10,500 to 15,000 acres, and its spread continues to be a concern given the ongoing dry conditions and wind. The cause being human-related raises questions about prevention efforts and potential accountability, though details on how the fire started have not been released.
