Wildfires Impact Air Quality in Nevada

Wildfires in California and Nevada are causing significant disruption, with smoke from fires such as the Bridge Fire, Line Fire, and Airport Fire affecting air quality in Las Vegas. Residents have reported seeing ash, and the National Weather Service has warned of worsening conditions. Las Vegas also faces high winds and fire weather concerns, leading to a Red Flag Warning. In Nevada, the Davis Fire near Reno has grown to 5,600 acres and remains uncontained, prompting evacuations.
