Wildfires North of Reno Rage On | Reno News

Wildfires north of Reno are raging out of control—two massive fires, Bug and Stallion, have burned over 134,000 acres combined, forcing thousands to flee homes across northeastern California and into Pyramid Lake. The Bug Fire, at 58% containment, has scorched nearly 94,000 acres and destroyed nine homes, mostly near Red Rock, while the Stallion Fire sits at 74% containment with 41,000 acres burned. Over 23 firefighting crews, 771 personnel, and heavy equipment are battling the flames. Residents must monitor perimetermap.com and watchduty.org for updates on evacuations and safe returns. Two civilians were airlifted with injuries, but no firefighters were hurt. Three thousand people remain displaced, with evacuation zones reassessed every 12 hours. Law enforcement will patrol reopened areas to prevent looting, and evacuees can return to “red zones” for essentials if they show ID. Both fires are under investigation, though one arrest has been made in a separate blaze. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
