Original story:

Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue is on scene of a fire at Davis Creek Regional Park in Washoe Valley, south of Reno.

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office said on X that it is assisting with evacuations in the Winters Creek area, north of the park. They are asking the public to avoid the area and remain alert for emergency services as they arrive.

The National Weather Service is warning drivers to be careful on US-395 through Washoe Valley. Dense smoke, driven by gusty winds from the west, could lead to areas of reduced visibility near the wildfire.
