The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Reno.

Morning, people of Reno! It's me again, Nicole Fallon-Peek, your host of the Reno Daily.


First, today's weather:

Rather cloudy and chilly. High: 42 Low: 30.


Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:

  1. A woman suffered severe burns to her arms and was hospitalized Saturday night in a fire that appears to have been intentionally set along U.S. 395 at the North McCarran Boulevard onramp. Police are investigating the incident, which happened just before 10 p.m. Other details about what burned or who may have set the fire were not immediately available. (KOLO)
  2. If you're in need of a job, check out who's hiring in the Reno area. People of all skill sets are needed for positions such as sales, truck driving, warehousing, and more. Customer service representatives are needed at multiple companies throughout the area, including United Nissan of Reno. (Reno Patch)
  3. On Monday, Revision Brewing and local clothing brand Make Your Momentum teamed up for a food and clothing drive. "Given the last couple of years, you know, I just think it's really important to give back to your community," Revision co-owner, Brittani Youngker said. Donations will be given to Safe Embrace and to the veteran's non-profit Nation's Finest. (KOLO)
