Downed power lines turned a statewide Red Flag Day into an evacuation of the popular resort town of Medora Thursday.
The fire, which burned approximately 3,000 acres to the west of the community on Interstate 94 also closed the four-lane highway for several hours April 1.
The Medora fire is under control, but the extreme fire conditions have continued to impact the western part of the state.
The fire conditions in the region are extreme, according to a National Forest Service spokesperson.
âAnother fire was reported on USDA Forest Service national grasslands on Saturday that started burning into the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This fire is currently estimated at 30 percent contained burning roughly 1000 acres. Bravo unit and two air tankers were called in for assistance from South Dakota yesterday; the tankers delivered one drop each.
UPDATE FROM USDA FOREST SERVICE:
As of 1 P.M. MDT today, April 8, firefighters are reporting 65% containment and an estimated 5,000 acres burned for the Horse Pasture Fire in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) and the McKenzie District of the Little Missouri National Grassland.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Responders conducted burnout procedures last night, which involves eliminating vegetation with controlled burns to establish a perimeter to contain the fire. At this time, no structure damage has been reported, but the CCC campground and other infrastructure in the park could still be at risk.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) Gov. Doug Burgum has declared a statewide drought disaster as extremely dry conditions continue to spread in North Dakota.
Drought conditions now encompass nearly three-fourths of the state, up from about half just a week ago.
Burgum’s order says the state is experiencing the worst drought since 2000. The declaration activates a coordinated emergency operations plan involving several state agencies, including the North Dakota National Guard, that stand ready to assist local and tribal officials.
“For the second time in five years, North Dakota ranchers are facing widespread, extreme drought conditions that threaten their herds and livelihoods,” Burgum said in a statement.
