Nevada Wildfires
A wildfire raged across 2,000 acres of sagebrush at the edge of northern Nevada's
biggest city on Friday, damaging or destroying two dozen buildings,
forcing thousands from their homes and leaving at least 17 people
injured.
The blaze, which prompted Nevada's governor to declare a
state of emergency, was blamed for one death - a 74-year-old man who
authorities said died after he suffered a heart attack and lost control
of his car while fleeing with his wife.
The so-called Caughlin Fire erupted shortly after midnight in the hilly, scrub-covered southern outskirts of Reno, a metropolitan area of around 420,000 people, and burned into affluent suburbs. Hundreds of homes were evacuated, some in a gated community.
