Wildfires Given New Breath by Isaac

Wildfires in northwest Nebraska and southern South Dakota grew all the greater as winds from the remnants of Isaac reached them.

Residents along Nebraska's Highway 385 are being evacuated, as if the fire jumps the highway, they would only have minutes of warning.

At the same time as Isaac hampered efforts, it aided them by lowering temperatures and bringing some humidity to the area.

The fires have already combined to burn over 182,000 acres, with over a thousand firefighters battling them.

Focus is on protecting Chadron, Nebraska and Rushville, South Dakota.
