@thethinkinghorse: Hawk Fire Forces Nearly 14,000 Homes to Evacuate Near Reno The fast-moving Hawk Fire exploded across the dry hills outside Reno, Nevada, after breaking out on August 22, growing to more than 10,500 acres. As of Sunday morning, the fire remained 0% contained. Nearly 14,000 homes were ordered to evacuate as the “GO NOW” zone expanded toward Reno and reached the edge of the University of Nevada campus. Governor Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency in Washoe County as strong winds, low humidity and dry vegetation drove the fire toward populated areas. More than 400 personnel are fighting the blaze, with the Nevada National Guard deployed to support aerial firefighting and security in evacuated neighborhoods. Parts of U.S. 395 were closed, while power outages affected thousands of homes and businesses. Fire officials describe the Hawk Fire as a highly dynamic, wind-driven incident capable of moving rapidly into residential areas. AI-generated visuals based on real events.
