(Omaha, NE/KETV) – Firefighters in Nebraska and Iowa battled wildfires on multiple front, Thursday. KETV in Omaha reports Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen declared a state of emergency Thursday to get more help fighting the fires. High winds and dry conditions pushed the Crescent Fire north of I-680 in Iowa across state lines. Fire crews in Nebraska were trying to keep the flames from reaching homes.

Fire officials told KETV the forward progress of this fire had been stopped, but it would take an overnight effort to make sure it didn’t spread to anywhere else. The Crescent Fire started on Tuesday after fire officials say a vehicle caught fire. Crews had to leave the fire fight overnight for safety reasons, but Thursday, it all flared up again.

Crews were using brush trucks and water tenders to stop the spread. No structures or houses have been burned.
