The actor shared distressing scenes of the blaze on his Instagram Stories as the Davis Fire moved closer to his Lake Tahoe home

Jeremy Renner is sharing distressing scenes from the Davis Fire as it approached his Lake Tahoe home.

The Hawkeye star, 53, shared multiple photos and videos of the fast-spreading wildfire to his Instagram Stories as he evacuated his home near Reno, Nev. on Sunday, Sept. 8.

In the first slide, he wrote “evacuated” followed by multiple prayer hand emojis over a photo of thick clouds of smoke billowing over the mountains. He also added, “Reno Tahoe” along with a fire emoji.

Another image that Renner wrote was taken “from my driveway” reveals even more clouds of smoke and orange flames burning the trees close to his home. In the corner, a fire truck appears to be parked on his property.

“When the wind shifts it’s either really good or really bad,” the actor wrote over another scene of the blaze.

He also made sure to tell his followers that he was safe and successfully evacuated over a photo of Washoe County, Nev. fire crew members and tagged Truckee Meadows Firefighters in the caption.

“Everyone is evacuated and safe. Now for Mother Nature,” he wrote in black text over the shot.

In the last two videos, a plane can be seen dumping red fire retardant chemicals over the smoky trees, followed by a dramatic clip of a fire truck driving past massive dark clouds that are seemingly moving towards the road.
