As firefighters extinguish some wildfires, others ignite

National Guard helicopter crews assisted local firefighters in battling two new wildfires that broke out March 26 in Grant County, NE, near the communities of Bingham, Ashby, and Hyannis. The helicopters are equipped with Bambi buckets, which allow the helicopter crews to drop water onto the fires from the air. (Photo from the Nebraska National Guard’s Facebook page)
