Nevada brush fire forces 10,000 from homes

It was not yet known what caused the fire.

US
Vice President Joe Biden had been speaking at a high school in the area
Thursday. With the smell of smoke in the air, he was about 25 minutes into
his address when aides summoned him offstage. He told the audience he would
have to move onto a question-and-answer period before officials “made
me get out of here.”

Mr Hernandez later held a briefing at the high school, but it was evacuated
along with surrounding neighbourhoods shortly afterward.

Wet weather was forecast Friday, and snow was forecast Friday night. But high
winds were expected to continue.

The Reno area had gone a winter-record 56 days without any precipitation until
light snow fell earlier this week.
