The Hawk Fire is racing through northwest Reno, devouring homes, forcing thousands to flee, and now stands at zero percent contained—already burning 13,000 acres and threatening the University of Nevada campus. Human-caused, it’s grown explosively, injuring six including first responders, prompting Governor Lombardo to declare a state of emergency and deploy the National Guard. Residents like Cari Kieffer lost everything in a terrifying rush to evacuate, clutching only essentials. With winds complicating containment, 400 personnel and federal aid are battling the blaze as power outages hit 10,000 homes and major roads shut down. Amid the chaos, casinos open their doors and communities rally—with crowdfunding and shelters rising to support those displaced.
