Twenty-nine homes were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by the dangerous wildfire that blasted out of the foothills of southwest Reno on Friday.
Firefighters expected to have the 2,000-acre Caughlin Fire fully contained today, with fire lines cut around fire areas.
Evacuated homeowners were allowed to return noon Saturday, most of them grateful to enter homes firefighters managed to protect from the wind-whipped firestorm. Others found smoking ruins.
