US fire department officials reported on the 23rd that the rapidly spreading wildfires in northwestern Reno, Nevada were caused by “human factors,” but it is unclear whether the cause of the fire was an inadvertent loss or deliberate arson. Currently, the wildfire has covered an area of more than 60 square kilometers, and the fire is still uncontrolled. Authorities are urging about 90,000 people to evacuate urgently. According to US government officials, the wildfires began on the 22nd and spread rapidly due to continued high winds and dry weather. They spread to the Humbolt-Toiabi National Forest near California, reached the edge of the University of Nevada campus, and caused part of Highway 395 connecting the north and south to the closure. The fire also caused widespread power outages. At its peak, nearly 60,000 households lost electricity, and there are still about 10,000 households that have not been restored.
