Wildfires in northwestern Nebraska tripled in size in fewer than 24 hours, as strong winds pushed flames through the rugged, rural terrain.
More than 270 square miles — an area more than twice the size of the state's largest city, Omaha — had burned by Sunday afternoon, fire officials said.
One of the fires had crossed into South Dakota this weekend and continued to burn on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
More than 35 volunteer firefighting departments are working with NEMA and federal incident command teams to battle the wildfires.
