This screen grab from a video captures a water drop over the Bug Fire north of Reno Aug. 11. More than 13,000 residents were evacuated, and tens of thousands more were prepared to evacuate valleys north of Reno during the Bug, Stallion and Fred Mountain fires. Eleven structures were lost, but initial fire predictions forecast far worse outcomes following the fires’ ignition Aug. 9.
