The Hawk Fire ignited on Saturday in the Peavine Peak area of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest northwest of Reno, Nevada, and grew beyond 23 square miles with zero containment. Officials confirmed the fire as human-caused, resulting in six injuries, destruction of several mountaintop houses, evacuation orders for 42,000 people, warnings for 45,000 others, power outages affecting nearly 10,000 customers, and closure of portions of US Route 395. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency, and approximately 800 personnel responded amid extreme fire behavior driven by shifting winds.
