Reno reporting spans highway collisions, residential and commercial fires, trail and mountain incidents, and falls and collapses at building sites. Coverage reaches the city and the communities around it wherever an accident crosses the line. Winter driving conditions and the high desert's dry, wind-driven fire season shape a large share of what gets reported. Traffic volume and the region's steady construction growth are the two factors that recur most often in these stories.
