名为鹰火的野火于周六在内华达州雷诺西北部爆发，并在周日继续快速蔓延12。火灾已扩展至20平方英里1，覆盖Peavine Peak地区1，当局已确认火灾由人为引起且目前未被控制1。火灾已摧毁多处住宅1，约9万居民因此处于疏散状态2，其中4.2万人被下令立即撤离，另有4.5万人待命离开2。
火灾受风势驱动，造成快速蔓延。火警长理查德·爱德华兹表示："鹰火对我们来说是一个非常动态的事件，因为它受风驱动。风驱动的火灾会非常迅速地蔓延到我们的住宅区"2。这场野火已导致至少6人受伤，其中包括3名应急人员和3名平民2。为应对危机，内华达州州长乔·隆巴多宣布沃什县进入紧急状态，并动员国民警卫队部署2架直升机和60名士兵参与灭火2。周日约有近10,000名用户仍无电力供应2。
A rapidly spreading wildfire near Reno, Nevada has forced approximately 90,000 residents to evacuate, with authorities declaring it human-caused and uncontained 12. The Hawk Fire began on Saturday morning near Eagle Meadows Trail and has grown to between 13,000 and 15,000 acres, consuming thousands of acres across the Peavine Peak area in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest northwest of the city 2. Officials reported that at least six people have been injured, including three emergency personnel and three civilians 2.
Evacuation orders have been issued for approximately 42,000 residents, while another 45,000 residents are on standby to leave 2. Fire Chief Richard Edwards described the challenge posed by the fire's behavior, stating: "The Hawk Fire is a very dynamic event for us because it is wind-driven. Wind-driven fires spread very rapidly into our residential areas" 2. The region experienced particularly challenging conditions, with 15 new fires breaking out across Nevada on Saturday alone 2.
In response to the crisis, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency in Washoe County and mobilized the National Guard, deploying two helicopters and 60 soldiers to assist firefighting efforts 2. By Sunday, approximately 10,000 residents remained without power, a significant decrease from the roughly 60,000 without electricity the previous day 2.
