The Hawk Fire is0:04driving toward Reno with its edge now at0:06the University of Nevada campus. While0:08thousands of homes have already lost0:10power and 400 crews try to hold the line0:13with no containment number and no return0:14timeline given, when will those families0:16be allowed back? That go now order, not0:19standby, is the sharpest change. Nearly0:2114,000 [music] homes told to leave0:23immediately in a single zone that0:24reaches to the University of Nevada0:26campus. The proximity to dense [music]0:28institutional ground is what turned0:29preparation into displacement.0:37The fire has burned more than 10,0000:39hectares since Saturday, [music] about0:41100 square kilometers, roughly 24,7000:44acres in northern Nevada near Reno.0:47Governor Joe Lombardo declared [music] a0:48state of emergency for Washoe County and0:50mobilized the National Guard, the formal0:52step that authorizes expanded personnel,0:54[music] logistics, and interagency0:56coordination for a fire this size. About0:58400 personnel, [music] firefighters, and1:00support staff are deployed against that1:02footprint, holding line, protecting1:04[music] structures, and supporting1:05evacuations while power hazards1:07complicate work. Growth is fueled by1:09strong winds, [music] low humidity, and1:11dry vegetation, conditions that sustain1:13rapid spread and make direct containment1:15difficult. That combination explains the1:17instruction residents are hearing now.1:19Check the [music] online evacuation map1:21and be ready to move on short notice.1:23Officials signal an active, potentially1:25[music] expanding perimeter, not a1:27static line. With thousands without1:29power at the moment families are told to1:31leave, the practical consequences are1:33immediate. [music] Packed vehicles on1:34limited routes, shelters filling,1:36households deciding what to take, and1:38vulnerable residents weighing medical1:40needs against leaving. [music]1:41Authorities are also monitoring a prison1:43facility near the evacuation area where1:45movement involves custody,1:46>> [music]1:46>> transport, and staffing constraints1:48distinct from residential evacuation. No1:50containment percentage or timeline has1:52been provided. No deaths, injuries, or1:55confirmed damage totals [music]1:56reported, and no cause stated. The exact1:59number without power and when it returns2:01has not been detailed.
