A fast-moving vegetation fire sent emergency crews scrambling in Sparks, Nevada, on Tuesday evening as flames spread across roughly 30 acres (121,406 square metres) near a Safeway supermarket, prompting evacuation orders, power shut-offs and fears for nearby homes.
The Sparks fire, now known as the Navato Fire, broke out in the area of Geno Martini Parkway and Garda Court in the D'Andrea neighbourhood. Thick smoke billowed into the sky as firefighters raced to contain the fire before it could spread further into residential areas.
