Fires Ease, Evacuations Lifted in Michigan, South Dakota

The PK Fire in Sheridan County, Wyoming, has burned about 1,645 acres and was reported 85% contained in the latest update. Recent moisture helped lower the threat, and all evacuation notices have been lifted, though officials urge residents to stay prepared in case conditions change. Fire managers are increasing containment while allowing the blaze to burn through cottonwood trees because falling trees could endanger firefighters; crews continue monitoring and mop-up work. Officials have asked the public to stay out of the affected area.
