As of Sunday, tens of thousands of residents have been ordered to evacuate, with approximately 42,000 displaced or under active evacuation orders, and an additional 45,000 in a "be prepared to evacuate" status. The fire has spread from the Sierra Nevada foothills, reaching over 10,500 acres and nearing the outskirts of Reno, Nevada's third-most-populous city. The "G0 NOW" evacuation zone has extended to the edge of the University of Nevada campus. A state of emergency has been declared in Nevada due to the wildfire. At least six people have sustained injuries. Emergency officials have opened the Reno-Sparks Convention Center to accommodate evacuees.
