This is what firefighters are up against outside Reno.

The National Weather Service expects humidity to fall sharply this afternoon as southwest winds increase, with gusts potentially reaching 20–25 mph.

Officials continue to report 0% containment, with hundreds of firefighters and additional resources working the fire.

This dry brush tells the story. It doesn’t take much for fire to find fuel here.

We’re outside Reno with continuing coverage on @WeatherChannel.

A massive firefighting operation is underway this morning outside Reno.

Hundreds of firefighters are being briefed, organized and deployed to battle the #HawkFire, which has burned thousands of acres around Peavine Mountain and threatened communities across northwest Reno and the North Valleys.

The latest official incident update lists 0% containment, with tens of thousands of residents in evacuation or evacuation-warning zones. Homes and other structures have burned, with damage assessments still underway.

The fire is confirmed human-caused, though exactly how it started remains under investigation.

We’re at the staging area this morning as crews prepare to head to the fire lines.
