Reno Firefighters Association

Today Reno and Sparks Firefighters assisted Truckee Meadows FPD with flood mitigation in the Hidden Valley area.

Reno Firefighters extinguished a semi truck and structure fire this afternoon near 5th and Depaoli.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, news of emancipation reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. That day became known as Juneteenth and is now recognized as a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth commemorates a defining moment in American history and serves as a reminder that the promises of the Emancipation Proclamation were not immediately realized for everyone.

Today, we reflect on the significance of this day, the history it represents, and the experiences of those who waited for that news to arrive.

If you were wondering why there’s an extra delay on 395 Northbound near the Panther Valley on ramp.

You know the Reno Rodeo has begun when the cattle drive walks down Sutro Street.
