On 24 August 2026, UK television news reported on a large wildfire in the US state of Nevada.

The fire had burned more than 50 square kilometres according to BBC News, while ITV reported 15,000 acres. A state of emergency was declared, and the Nevada National Guard was deployed. BBC News reported at least six injuries and said some homes had been lost, while ITV noted the fire was not contained.
