PRAIRIE WILDFIRE

A wildlife burned more than 300 acres last week. The CSKT Division of Fire responded to the Sinkhole Fire west of Dixon last Wednesday. Railroad work in the area is believed to have caused the fire. Smoke could be seen rolling across the prairie from cars passing on Highway 200. Fire officials stated that miscellaneous overhead, five engines a dozer and a total of 25 personnel responded to the fire, and that wind was a factor. The blaze was fully contained by midday Friday.
