Winter Storm Fallout, Airport Delays and Fire Response Lead Reno Headlines

Reno is wrapping up a turbulent week marked by winter weather, travel disruptions and public safety responses across the region.

Winter Storm Forces Closures Across Washoe County

A powerful winter storm earlier this week shut down Washoe County schools along with Storey County and Carson City districts. State offices and the University of Nevada, Reno also closed as heavy snowfall and dangerous road conditions swept through northern Nevada.

Interstate 80 was temporarily closed near the California state line, and chain controls were enforced in multiple areas. Officials urged residents to avoid nonessential travel as crews worked to clear roadways.

Reno-Tahoe Airport Hit with Delays and Cancellations

The storm also disrupted air travel at Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Multiple flights were delayed or canceled as snow intensified and visibility dropped.

Airport officials advised travelers to check directly with their airlines before heading to the terminal. While conditions have since improved, the ripple effects continued into the following day for some passengers.

Vacant Apartment Fire Draws Major Response

Fire crews responded to a significant blaze at a vacant apartment complex near Grove Street in Reno. The fire caused extensive damage to the structure, and portions of the complex were ultimately razed.

Officials confirmed there were no reported injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Three Arrested in Shooting Investigation

In a separate public safety development, authorities announced the arrest of three suspects in connection with a recent shooting. Details about the incident and charges are still emerging, but officials say the investigation is ongoing.

Residents are encouraged to report any information that could assist law enforcement.
