Two Fires Threaten Washoe County | Reno News

The Bug Fire is wreaking havoc, shutting down eight schools and forcing evacuations in Hungry Valley—especially impacting the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony—with 15,000 acres already scorched and only 20% contained. Compounding the crisis, the Fred Mountain Fire burns unchecked at 1,400 acres with zero containment. Evacuation zones are expanding eastward, urging residents to prep essentials, pets, and stay updated via Perimeter Map and Watch Duty. Community centers are open for tribal and non-tribal evacuees, and animal services are stepping in to care for pets. With winds fueling both fires, safety hinges on staying informed as the North Valleys brace for more chaos. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
