The Hawk Fire, which began on Saturday, has been fueled by strong winds and rough terrain that have impeded efforts to keep the blaze from spreading to residential areas. As of Sunday, it was 0% contained, according to fire officials. At least six people — three first responders and three civilians — have been injured as a result of the fire, according to the Associated Press . Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency on Saturday, urging residents to "remain vigilant and follow the direction of local officials." Nearly all schools in Washoe County were closed Monday as a result of the fire. The Washoe County Sheriff's Department has also ordered dozens of road closures in the area and partially shut down a major highway north of the city.

Authorities said the fire was caused by humans , but have not provided specifics on how it started or whether it may have been lit deliberately. County officials said Monday that more than 700 personnel were actively working to contain the fire, including 14 fire crews, 95 engines and 10 helicopters. They reported that firefighters had "made progress" in keeping the blaze from spreading despite "extreme fire behavior" fueled by strong winds, high temperatures and extremely dry brush in certain areas. The fire has threatened densely-packed suburban neighborhoods on both the northern and southern edges of its perimeter. Extreme fire conditions are expected to continue for at least the next 48 hours, which could allow the fire to continue to spread to the northeast and northwest, potentially into neighborhoods north of Highway 395. Authorities have not said how many structures have been burned so far. Reno is the second city in the western United States this month to see homes lost and mass evacuations due to out-of-control wildfires. In early August, a trio of fires burning simultaneously near Spokane, Wash., forced 60,000 people to evacuate, destroyed more than 800 homes and caused in excess of $1 billion in damage. Across the U.S., there have been more than 50,000 wildfires that have collectively burned more 7.8 million acres of wildland so far this year. That's already substantially more than the average number of fires and acres destroyed annually over the past 10 years with more than four months left in 2026, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.

Cari Kiefer, a Reno resident who shared a video of her family's home burning on social media, told the Associated Press that she and her husband rushed to save whatever possessions they could before the blaze consumed their house. "I kept looking outside and the flames just kept getting closer and closer every time I looked," Kieffer said. "I was like, we gotta go like now." After the fire had passed through, only a scorched basketball hoop remained standing in the spot where their home once stood. "I woke up this morning and just started crying — all my kids, they lost everything," Kieffer said Sunday. "We lost all our stuff. Everything we own is gone."
