Baku-APA. The estimated number of homes destroyed in a wind-fueled wildfire has more than doubled to a total of 32, but Gov. Brian Sandoval says it’s a miracle scores more weren’t lost,, APA reports quoting Associated Press.
Reno Fire Chief Mike Hernandez said a re-evaluation of the 2,000-acre burn on Saturday found much more destruction and damage than initially reported.
The blaze spread by gale-force winds and ripped through the Sierra foothills early Friday, forcing the evacuation of nearly 10,000 people. Most started returning to their homes Saturday afternoon.
The governor said after a helicopter tour of the area that while the loss of homes was a tragedy, the 400 firefighters on the lines are heroes for saving more than 4,000 houses that could have burned
