About 20 miles (32.2 kilometers) outside Reno, Nevada, the Davis Fire has grown to about 10 square miles (26 square kilometers) after igniting Sunday afternoon. It originated in the Davis Creek Regional Park in the Washoe Valley and was burning in heavy timber and brush, according to firefighters.

An emergency declaration issued for Washoe County by Gov. Joe Lombardo on Sunday noted that about 20,000 people were evacuated from neighborhoods, businesses, parks, and campgrounds. Parts of south Reno remained under evacuation orders on Monday, with some homes, businesses, and traffic signals in the area experiencing power outages.
Renner's evacuation comes nearly one year after he suffered a near-fatal accident at his Reno home. The actor was hospitalized for two weeks after being run over by a snowplow on Jan. 1, 2023, in the driveway of his residence.

Renner sustained blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries in the snowplow accident and was airlifted to the hospital, where he underwent surgery. The "The Hurt Locker" actor remained conscious after the accident.
"It's like, you see your eye with your other eye because my eyeball was out," Renner said during an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." "So you have weird things that go through your head like, ‘Well, I guess that’s real, but like I’ll worry about that later.'

"And I look at my legs. They were all twisted up, and I’ll worry about that later because I’ve got to worry about breathing first, right?"
