More Than A Dozen Fire Crews Called Out For Numerous Wildfires In Southeast North Dakota – KVRR Local News


FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — At least 14 fire crews are being called into action to deal with rapidly spreading wildfires in southeast North Dakota.

High winds and dry conditions helped fuel an outbreak of brush fires south and west of the Fargo area this afternoon.

Fires were reported near Buffalo, Horace and Walcott.

A bridge caught fire in Richland County on a county road.

Richland County Emergency Manager Brett Lambrecht says one fire hit a farmstead, the house was saved but they lost a barn.

A portion of State Highway 46 was closed near County Highway 17 due to dense smoke.

Burn bans are in place for a majority of North Dakota due to very dry conditions.

The Democratic-NPL Party endorsed state Sen. Ryan Braunberger of Fargo for secretary of state, Scot Kelsh of Fargo and John Pederson of Mayville for Public Service Commission and Tim Lamb of Grand Forks for attorney general. The party also issued a letter of support for Tracy Foss of Hatton for superintendent of public instruction.

Democrats have 429 delegates participating, which Party Chair Adam Goldwyn said is the most since 2018. The party has 49 legislative candidates so far, but Goldwyn challenged attendees to field candidates in districts that don’t yet have anyone running.

“The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party has one goal: contest every single election up and down the ballot all across the state,” Goldwyn said.
