Governor Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency in Washoe County for the Hawk Fire [E1]. The incident sits on Peavine Peak, northwest of Somersett, with origin given off Hawk Meadow Trail [E2][E3]. Unified Command’s Sunday briefing called it human-caused; KOLO used the same phrase [E2][E3]. First public report was about 11:15 PDT on 22 August; ignition time is not in the retrieved ledger [E3].
Evacuation numbers reconcile. About 42,000 residents were in GO-NOW zones and about 45,000 in GET-SET, a combined population of about 90,000 [E3][E4]. Six injuries were known, three civilians and three first responders [E3]. Washoe Regional EOC put about 10,000 Northern Nevada electric customers off and about 250 gas customers shut off after emergency de-energization [E5]. A firm destroyed-structure count was still unpublished pending assessment [E4].
Acreage is the contested ledger. The 11:00 PDT Unified Command briefing said 13,000 acres [E3]. A later Official Hawk Fire Information item and KOLO used 10,522 [E2]. Those figures are not the same mapping vintage. Containment was reported as 0 percent at the briefing and as uncontained later, without a synchronized percentage [E2][E3]. Both acreage prints stay in the record.
Reno-Tahoe International remained outside the evacuation area in the Sunday reporting, with Reno-Stead closed to general aviation and open to firefighting aircraft [E3]. Whether InciWeb or Unified Command prints containment at or above 50 percent by 30 August is the next public test [E2][E3]. Sunday’s facts are the emergency declaration, the 42,000 GO-NOW figure, and an uncontained human-caused fire on the Reno edge [E1][E3][E5].
