Dubbed the “Bug Fire”, the wildfire affecting the California-Nevada border has exploded in size, burning 15,000 acres. As of Monday, wildfire-tracking outlet Western Fire Chiefs reports that only 3% of the Bug Fire has been contained.

First reported at around 4:08 p.m. on Saturday near Highway 395 and Bringman Road, the fire grew rapidly, burning more than 6,500 acres by Sunday evening.

It quickly crossed into Washoe County, Nevada, threatening areas near Cold Springs and Silver Knolls, prompting evacuation orders for residents in those communities.

Simultaneously with the Bug Fire is the “Fred Mountain Fire”, burning more than 1,300 acres northeast of where the Bug Fire is burning. The Fred Mountain Fire has caused additional evacuations.

No structures have been damaged so far, and there have been no reports of injury, according to local fire officials.

In early August, a 37-year-old man from Washington was arrested and charged with first-degree arson for allegedly causing a wildfire that burned nearly 14,000 acres.

Aaron F. Farinacci was initially held on a $1 million bond in connection with the Old Trails Wildfire; however, following his first court appearance on Aug. 6, the judge increased his bail to $2 million. Witnesses reported to Washington law enforcement that they had seen a man near the site where the fire began, noting that he had been staring into the trees before crouching beside a road near a patch of grass.

Investigators found evidence that connected Farinacci, leading to his arrest. In addition to his $2 million bond, Farinacci now faces four first-degree arson charges.

It remains unclear if the Bug Fire was caused by a person(s).
