As Nebraska wildfires burn through more than 700,000 acres across the state, Bishop James Conley of Lincoln and Gov. Jim Pillen have asked for prayers.
Four major wildfires are burning across Nebraska as of Monday afternoon, including the largest wildfire in the state’s history, according to state officials.
“Please join me in praying for all those who are dealing with the dangerous wildfires in Nebraska right now,” Conley said in a post on X on March 16.
The four active fires are the Road 203 Fire, south of Halsey and Dunning within the Nebraska National Forest; the Lincoln County Fire, near Brady and Gothenburg; the Morrill County Fire, north of the Nebraska Highway 92; and the Anderson Bridge Fire, west of Valentine.
