Data shows fentanyl deaths doubling in Washoe County

The number of deaths tied to fentanyl in Washoe County has more than doubled over the last year. KOLO-TV reports the county saw 55 deaths from fentanyl in 2020. In 2019, there were 25 deaths linked to the drug. In 2016, that number was just seven. The spike has led several agencies to collaborate on a campaign to raise awareness about fentanyl abuse.
