Listen, Reno. We need to have a serious conversation. The @NWSReno says increasing winds will bring elevated fire weather conditions through the weekend. The #BugFire may be nearing 100% containment, but crews are still actively fighting the #HawkFire. At the same time, firefighters have had to respond to several unrelated fires around Reno. This is the week to be extra cautious and help prevent the next fire! If you are recreating outdoors, use common sense. Don’t drag trailer chains, park on dry grass, target shoot near vegetation or use equipment that could create a spark. Follow all closures, and absolutely do not fly a drone near a wildfire. One careless decision can start a fire, pull already-stretched resources away from the Hawk Fire and put firefighters, residents and more homes at risk. Please don’t be the reason crews have another fire to fight. Stay alert and stay safe.
