The fast-moving Hawk Fire has scorched about 8000 acres northwest of Reno, triggering mandatory evacuations
The Hawk Fire in Reno, Nevada, has expanded to approximately 8,000 acres and is rapidly approaching the Lemon Valley area, according to the National Intragency Fire Center. The fire, which began just before 11:30 am on Saturday, has prompted mandatory evacuations, road closures, and an extensive firefighting operation in the rugged terrain of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office has upgraded several neighborhoods to "Go Now" mandatory evacuation orders, with all communities along US 395 from Raleigh Heights to Red Rock now in jeopardy. Authorities are closely monitoring the Washoe County Detention Facility, located near the wildfire, and have requested additional assistance from Cal Fire to combat the blaze.
Firefighters are deploying a significant number of resources, including air tankers, helicopters, and ground crews, to contain the rapidly growing fire and prevent spot fires.
