LOS ANGELES - Authorities said on Sunday that at least six people were injured and 42,000 were ordered to evacuate as a fast-growing wildfire spread rapidly toward Reno, a city in northwestern Nevada near the Nevada-California border.
The Hawk Fire, which began Saturday, has grown to more than 13,000 acres (about 53 square kilometers) so far and remained completely uncontained, fire officials said at a news conference Sunday.
Officials added that the injured included three civilians and three first responders, and an additional 45,000 people were in the evacuation warning zone.
They also confirmed that several structures have been destroyed in the fire.
