Quail Springs Fire Still Uncontained | Reno News

A massive 13,500-acre wildfire rages through Nevada’s restricted military lands, still zero percent contained and fueled by dry grass, pinyon, and juniper under brutal heat and wind. No evacuations or structures threatened yet, but firefighters face steep, rugged terrain and worsening weather—hot, dry, and windy—with afternoon fire surges expected. The blaze, sparked by lightning on July 24, is pushing north, and while terrain may ease slightly ahead, no rain is forecast. Smoke may drift toward Highway 375 and the town of Rachel, where sensitive residents should stay indoors during peak smoke hours.
