A fast-moving, human-caused wildfire called the Hawk Fire spread near Reno, Nevada, growing to more than 15,000 acres and prompting evacuation orders and warnings for tens of thousands of people, with numbers reported as high as 90,000. The fire destroyed at least 32 properties, caused injuries, and led Nevada's governor to declare a state of emergency, with containment later reported at 27 percent as thousands remained displaced.
