Brush fire re-ignited at DeSoto

Posted

A brush fire broke out at DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge Monday afternoon.

This comes just six days after the initial fire, which was caused by a lightning strike to a dead cottonwood tree on Tuesday.

Mutual aid from Missouri Valley and Modale in Iowa, as well as Blair and Fort Calhoun in Nebraska, were called to the refuge. 

The Enterprise will have more information as it becomes available.
