Jeremy Renner shares ghastly footage of Davis wildfire as he evacuates his home
Jeremy Renner confirmed safe evacuation for himself and others as the Davis fire has prompted a state of emergency and forced 14k evacuations in Washoe County.
Jeremy Renner recently shared ghastly footage and photos of the Davis Fire as it approached his home near Lake Tahoe on Sunday, September 8. Earlier he confirmed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in August that his primary residence is in Nevada.
The Avengers star took to Instagram to show his followers the fast-encroaching wildfire that prompted him to evacuate his property near Reno, Nevada. He shared a photo of thick smoke looming over the mountains, captioned with “evacuated” alongside several prayer hand emojis. He also tagged the location as “Reno Tahoe” and added a fire emoji.
One photo, taken from his driveway, showed massive clouds of smoke and flames dangerously close to his home. A fire truck could be seen stationed on his property.
“When the wind shifts it’s either really good or really bad,” Renner wrote over another shot of the blaze.
