The video embedded here is taken at the Skyline Canyon near the Caughlin Ranch in Reno NV. Here is a direct link to the ABC 6 video.

The fire burning in Reno NV, known as the Caughlin Fire has burning about 2,000 acres and destroyed about 20 homes. KOLO TV is reporting that a firefighter has been injured bringing the total injured to 17, go here for more information. Sadly, the fire is said to have lead to the death of an elderly gentleman as he was fleeing the fire, see this Chicago Tribune article for more information.

There is an inciweb page for the Caughlin Fire. I believe that air tankers and helos are not working the fire because of the winds.
