A wildfire dubbed the Hawk Fire is barreling through northwest Reno, Nevada, forcing nearly 90,000 to flee as it rages across 20 square miles with zero containment. Spreading rapidly through Peavine Peak—a national forest bordering neighborhoods—the blaze has already destroyed buildings, injured six—including first responders—and shut down highways and power for tens of thousands. Evacuation orders now reach the University of Nevada campus, while 45,000 more are under warning. Hospitals are evacuating patients, casinos are offering discounts, and the convention center is open for displaced residents—though pets aren’t allowed. Human-caused and fueled by extreme heat, dry air, and fierce winds, the fire has prompted a state of emergency, National Guard deployment, and 8,500 firefighters on the ground.
