A fast-moving wildfire that jumped over fire trucks and made it difficult for crews to reach hot spots destroyed homes in northwest Reno, Nevada, on Sunday (August 24, 2026).Shifting winds challenged firefighters trying to bring it under control, and authorities urged some 90,000 people to evacuate.At least six people - three first responders and three civilians - were injured, officials said, adding that the fire was “human-caused” but did not provide details on how they reached that conclusion, or whether it was intentionally set or accidental.The Hawk Fire began on Saturday (August 24) and quickly grew to more than 60 sq km as it spread across the Peavine Peak area of the Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest, where rugged foothills are ringed by homes and businesses near the California state line.
