Residents returned to their homes in Nevada on Monday after a wind-whipped wildfire spread quickly near a residential area south of Reno, destroying one home and damaging several other buildings before about 200 firefighters aided by light rain quelled flames near the main highway to Lake Tahoe.
“Mother Nature came to our aid before it became far worse,” Adam Mayberry, spokesperson for the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District, told The Associated Press. No injuries were reported.
