They reported that Renner was moving snow from his driveway on Sunday so that his family members could depart his home after spending the new year together. He was also helping clear out the snow from his neighbor’s home as everyone up there had been without power for 24 hours and there had been a large snowfall. So he was helping everyone in trying to clear out the snow so people could get out.”
Reno Mayor Hillary Shieve, who is a friend of Renner, praised his efforts in helping out his community to the local newspaper the Reno Gazette Journal. “He was helping someone stranded in the snow. He is always helping others. This was near his home on the Mt.
