Fire officials reported progress Wednesday fighting separate wildfires in the mountains near Las Vegas and on the edge of Reno, where a home was destroyed and hundreds of evacuations were ordered last weekend. The number of firefighters battling a more than 4-square-mile (10.4-square-kilometer) fire on Mount Charleston in southern Nevada grew to 420, incident spokesman Brandon Hampton said, and containment was estimated at 10%.
No injuries were reported and no structures were damaged in Lee and Kyle canyon hamlets home to several hundred residents and weekend visitors.
The fire started Sunday near a campground, and officials said the fire was caused by humans. They have not disclosed an exact cause.
In northern Nevada, containment was reported at 95% at the fire that had threatened neighborhoods on Peavine Mountain.
