The Hawk Fire has expanded to the edge of the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Officials have ordered roughly 14,000 homes evacuated and opened the Reno-Sparks Convention Center for evacuees. Gov. Lombardo has declared a state of emergency, mobilizing the Nevada National Guard to support firefighting with helicopter crews and ground troops. Authorities warn residents to evacuate immediately as winds push the blaze toward urban areas.
