A wildfire in Nevada’s Sierra Nevada foothills has exploded into a fast-moving disaster, forcing over 90,000 people in Reno to flee as flames threaten homes and neighborhoods. Starting Saturday, the Hawk Fire surged to 23 square miles, with zero containment despite firefighters battling hotspots and shifting winds. Three first responders and three civilians were injured, and many residents received little warning—some even returned to grab belongings amid chaos. Schools shut down Monday to aid evacuations and clear roads. Officials confirm human-caused origins, adding to a troubling trend: this is the third major fire in the region in two weeks—all linked to human activity amid record-breaking dry conditions. Across the U.S., wildfires this year are at a 10-year high, fueled by extreme weather that’s turning the American West into a tinderbox.
