Crews Struggle To Contain Nevada Wildfire

Firefighters in Nevada were hoping to stop a wind-driven wildfire, which has already destroyed 22 homes north of Carson City, from jumping any major roads. The blaze between Reno and Carson City was only 5 percent contained Saturday, fire officials said. The fire, which grew overnight to more than 5 square miles, was threatening 500 structures and had destroyed 17 outbuildings. Residents east of Washoe Lake have been allowed to return home. Other neighborhoods have been permitted but told they might have to evacuate again during the weekend. Homes west of the lake will remain under evacuation.
