I believe so, we had our tractor and unit up their all night and it was pretty much out then. As long as the wind stays soft it should be ok. Thanks goodness we had a shot of rain otherwise it would have came right to our front door.
How big did Bucks get up there? Kenny was down all day by Bob Kuhn's fighting there. Wish I was home to help!!!

I just talked to Lazy Ace, and Bucks fire, officially called the Stone Church fire, I think, has flared up on the east side, and with a stout north wind is headed our way. If the incident command would have let Buck, Lori, Blake, other neighbors and our crew work on getting the hot spots behind the fire line out last night, it might not have run all the way east and now be headed south....

Anyway, here's what I kinda know about the fire...started at north end of Bucks, and ran all the way north through Ed B's, jumped the river, and late last night Lazy Ace heard it was about 2 or 3 miles from Barb Campbell and families, place. At some point either the southern edge took off, and went east to Mesco (? spelling,) or else it went east and the northern winds pushed back across the Grand toward Mesco, or maybe both. I have not heard which or occurred.
I believe it and the fire between Yates and Selfridge are being lumped into the same fire. I have no idea why since they are miles apart-maybe because of BIA involvement. Keloland said they were 25,000-26,000 acres on their website. The Bismarck Tribune put the Selfridge-Yates fire at 19,000 acres (15 miles long and 5 or 6 miles wide)
However, I'd say that Stone Church fire is greater than 5000 or 6000 acres just because of the distance it has travelled, and how wide it is. I asked Ace how big and he hasn't heard, but it is on the move and growing!
There is was a big fire last night over around Glad Valley-I think started on Len Hofers, and pushed south really fast. At one point there were expecting it to jump Hwy 20.
I'll keep you posted on what I hear.
For, now, please be safe everyone....
