Approximately 90,000 people have been urged to flee as the fire advances toward the city. In response to the escalating crisis, Nevada's governor has declared a state of emergency for the affected area.
Adding to the disruption, all Washoe County schools are scheduled to close on Monday due to the ongoing threat. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
