- As of Sunday afternoon, containment on the South Fork Fire in the Northwest Nebraska panhandle was 42% and acreage remained at 32,818 acres with approximately 562 personnel assigned.
The greatest area of containment is on the southern edge of the fire, in Divisions Alpha (where the town of Crawford is located) and up to the north to the division break with Division Zulu to the northeast, and in Division Juliet.
In these divisions, firefighters are patrolling and securing the containment line, as well as mopping up any lingering areas of heat. Fort Robinson also has containment line around its entire perimeter.

- The Morrill Fire’s impact on property taxes, especially in Garden County, dominated discussion Tuesday as Governor Jim Pillen and members of his cabinet held a wildfire recovery roundtable at the Oshkosh City Auditorium.
The panel heard from Caleb Johnson, who assists more than 20 counties in the Panhandle and elsewhere with their budgets, and he told them Garden County is in a very unique situation.
Johnson said because of the property valuation reductions expected through Form 425 filings for damaged or destroyed property, Garden County, among all the fire-impacted jurisdictions, has its back up against the wall.
“If it (total property valuation) goes down 42 percent, in order to be compliant with the (maximum) levy, which is fifty cents, they will have to lower their tax asking,” said Johnson, “and here’s where it becomes problematic is, even if Garden County gets state aid right now, that solves the problem this year.

- This 1-year-old Pit mix is a bundle of energy, spunk, and just the right amount of neutral chaos! Kai is the kind of dog who keeps life interesting - whether she's zooming around the yard, tossing a toy in the air, or showing off her goofy personality that will have you laughing before you even realize it.
Kai can be a little shy when meeting new dogs, but once she warms up she does well and enjoys having canine friends to play with. With a little patience and a proper introduction, she'll settle right in and let her fun-loving personality shine.
Once Kai feels comfortable, her silly, playful side really comes out. She's the kind of girl who will keep you smiling with her goofy antics and happy energy. If you're looking for a dog who will make every day feel a little brighter (and a little more entertaining), Kai might be your perfect match.
