Nevada wildfire causes 40,000 evacuations
Evacuation procedures have been reinforced in the city of Reno, Nevada, as a large wildfire known as the "Hook Fire" approaches residents’ homes. The fire has expanded to over 6,000 acres, with its spread accelerated by wind and thick smoke. It is reported that 42,000 people have been forced to evacuate, while around 45,000 others are on standby to leave. Authorities warn of the rapid advance of the flames, which have destroyed some properties and injured six people, including three members of rescue teams. The governor has declared a state of emergency across the county and called on residents to prepare for immediate evacuation orders. Concerns remain about the fire’s swift spread and its potential to destroy homes and facilities near the Sierra Nevada mountains and in Reno.
