As some residents begin learning that their homes have been damaged or destroyed by the Bug and Stallion fires, they can reach out to the American Red Cross of Northern Nevada for assistance by visiting the Red Cross shelter in Reno to speak with a disaster worker or calling (800) RED CROSS ((800) 733-2767).
