Two people have been left without a home after a fire broke out at a double-wide trailer in Wadsworth on Wednesday afternoon.
The fire started underneath the home, and residents said there was an explosion, but firefighters could not confirm that, according to a spokesperson for Pyramid Lake Fire.
The home is a total loss, according to a TMFR spokesperson.
Multiple fire agencies responded to the fire, including Pyramid Lake Fire, the Reno Fire Department, and Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue.
TMFR says the blaze was a defensive fire that extended to a nearby tire pile, but not into the surrounding wildlands.
Firefighters are working with Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe staff to reach out to the Red Cross.
In a social media post, the Pyramid Lake Police Department asked people to stay away from the area around Wadsworth Street and to keep roadways clear for emergency equipment, NV Energy, and the gas company.
We will update this story as more information becomes available.
