Firefighters did some tough work on Wednesday with indirect line construction on Bethel Ridge in the southern portion of the fire in thick dead and downed timber.
First COVID-19 and now the Schneider Springs wildfire. Pick your calamity but, either way, the annual Chinook Fest weekend concert at Jim Sprick Community Park has been forced to cancel for the second consecutive year.
The fire, which is now burning about a quarter of a mile from the Nile and about a mile from Highway 410 grew is a whopping 56,422 acres with no containment.
