VIDEO: Firefighters are battling a garage fire on East Hansen Trail Road north of North Platte, an incident occurring as the National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for critical fire weather conditions. The warning is due to gusty winds and low humidity, meaning fires can spread rapidly and uncontrollably. Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution with any potential ignition sources.
According to the North Platte National Weather Service Office, the Red Flag Warning is in effect for the majority of Lincoln County, along with much of Western Nebraska, including Keith, McPherson, Logan, Thomas, Arthur, and Hooker counties.
