HARRISON, Neb. (AP) — Landowners have taken over the watch on hot spots remaining from the wildfire that blackened an estimated 5,000 acres in the northwest corner of Nebraska.

Officials say firefighters have been sent home. It’s expected that some spots will continue to smolder and smoke but won’t pose a threat of spreading outside the burned area.

It’s believed the fire began with a lightning strike Friday night about 10 miles northeast of Harrison. It was first reported to the Harrison Volunteer Fire Department at 7:30 a.m. Sunday.

There were no reports of injuries to residents or firefighters and no reports of damage to any structures.
