Washoe County Fires Update | Reno News

Washoe County’s Stallion and Bug Fires are still smoldering, with the Stallion at 40,691 acres and 81% contained — a massive effort involving hundreds of crews and tons of gear. Both blazes ignited by human activity, with crews battling hotspots near Highway 395 and in rugged terrain like the Dogskin Mountains, where rain helped but also complicated operations. As temps climb into the 90s, humidity drops, and winds return, fire behavior could spike — and smoke remains a regional concern. Plus: flying drones near active fires? That’s a no-go — it shuts down critical air support. Stay safe, stay vigilant. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
