Fast-moving wildfire in Reno, Nevada, forces tens of thousands to evacuate homes

BREAKING: Fast-moving wildfire in Reno, Nevada forces the evacuation of tens of thousands, with 90,000 people urged to flee the Hawk Fire, which officials blame on human activity.

Ninety thousand people in Reno, Nevada are being told to get out, right now.

A fast-moving wildfire they're calling the Hawk Fire is bearing down on the city, and tens of thousands have already left their homes. You can see the smoke here, a wall of it climbing over a residential hillside, and that is the view from streets where families live.

Officials say this one wasn't started by lightning. They're blaming human activity, which means somewhere at the beginning of all this is something a person did.

Details are still coming in. We don't yet have word on injuries or homes lost, and with a fire moving this fast the picture can change hour by hour. What we know tonight is stark enough. Ninety thousand people urged to flee, and the fire is still moving.
