I was awaken at 3:30 am in Arrowcreek Reno Nevada by security regarding a voluntary evacuation from a Reno fire burning out of control. The scene looking over the valley towards the city was surreal as I witnessed large homes, suburban ranches and grassy knolls engulfed in flames. So far, around 20 or so Reno homes have burned in the Reno fire in Caughlin Ranch and surrounding areas, unfortunately, one dead, 16 injured, over 2,000 acres burned. Please donate any time and or money you may have, hope and pray for the victims and families. Here is a video I shot before evacuating:
