Six people, including three first responders, were injured by the Hawk Fire, which continued to spread in the US state of Nevada on Sunday. The wildfire remained uncontained over the weekend, having burned nearly 53 square kilometers in northwest Reno.

Around 42,000 people were ordered to evacuate, while another 45,000 were told to prepare to leave.

Officials said the blaze is caused by humans but no details have been made public on how it started.
