Firefighters remained on scene to snuff out hot spots Wednesday after a small brush fire on the edge of Reno quickly grew to 45 acres with gusty winds overnight, forcing evacuations and briefly closing Interstate 80 near the California-Nevada line before crews got the upper hand. Winds of up to 30 mph exacerbated flames that threatened 40 to 60 homes in the Verdi area that were evacuated overnight as a precaution.
Multiple fire agencies responded to the blaze that broke out shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday and quickly spread in erratic conditions caused by the gusty winds, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue spokesperson Adam Mayberry said. Battalion chief Adrian Villegas said crews did a good job of containing the flames and were being assisted by light rain moving into the area Wednesday morning as they snuffed out smoldering hot spots.
