Nebraska's largest wildfire in history is now over a half a million acres. On Thursday, March 12, an electrical pole snapped after succumbing to 70 mile an hour plus winds on a farm in Morrill County. Over a half a million acres are charred and yes, one day this land will be even better once it's healed. But until that time, our neighbors, friends, and even strangers who feed us are suffering. Several agencies around the Panhandle have set up tax deductible funds for those able to donate financially to the recovery effort. Local agencies in the Panhandle that we recommend, Oregon Trail Community Foundation, the United Way, and Nebraska Sandhills Rancher Fire Relief set up through Gordon Livestock.
We've set up a special fire relief page on our website at panhandlescanner.com.
One question we have for everyone in the area, if this were a war and the enemy was threatening you or your neighbors, lives, and property, what would you do?
We thank everyone for their prayers and their donations. And for those who are willing to join the fight, contact your local fire department today and join the fight in this largest fire in the history of our state. A list of fire departments and all the fire information about the Morrill Fire and others in Nebraska can be found on our website at panhandlescanner.com. Just look for the fire relief page.
We ask for your prayers for all of the farmers, ranchers, the brave and tireless firefighters, emergency response personnel, and everyone involved in this devastating emergency.
