At least 16 wildfires have burned across North Dakota, including several large fires in wooded areas and grasslands on the Turtle Mountain Reservation near the Canadian border.
Dry and breezy conditions before the spring green-up haven’t helped as much of the state was at some level of drought. Three fires blackened about 6.5 square miles in the Turtle Mountain area. On the Fort Berthold Reservation, blazes charred at least 3.1 square miles.
