THIS DID BREAK OUT AT 630 LAST NIGHT, AND THAT WAS DUE TO A CAR CATCHING ON FIRE ALONG EASTBOUND I-80. IT CAUGHT FIRE AND QUICKLY SPREAD TO VEGETATION AROUND IT, AND IT JUST WENT. IT WENT QUICKLY. IT GREW TO 400 ACRES AS OF LAST NIGHT. THAT WAS AROUND 8:00 LAST NIGHT THAT WE GOT THAT UPDATE. THE WASHOE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ALSO CANCELING SCHOOL FOR VERDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THIS MORNING DUE TO THE POWER OUTAGE IN THE AREA OF 6200 PEOPLE IN THE VERDE AREA, WOKE UP WITHOUT POWER THIS MORNING. YESTERDAY THERE WAS 26,000 PEOPLE IN WASHOE COUNTY IN VERDE THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THIS AND IMPACTED BY THIS POWER OUTAGE THAT WAS OCCURRING. BUT 20,000 PEOPLE WOKE UP TO POWER THIS MORNING AFTER IT WAS RESTORED, BUT AGAIN AT 6200 PEOPLE HERE IN VERDE ARE WITHOUT POWER THIS MORNING. THIS IS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE AS OF RIGHT NOW, 400 ACRES, 0% CONTAINED. AND THERE WAS ONE HOUSE THAT WAS BURNT DOWN IN THE GOLD RANCH FIRE.
