A wildfire destroyed the small southwestern North Dakota town of Bucyrus and moved toward Hettinger before firefighters said it was contained late Wednesday. Adams County State’s Attorney Aaron Roseland said the state fire marshal was expected to arrive today to investigate the cause. Roseland knew of no major injuries in the fire, but said the property loss was immense. “Bucyrus is almost a total loss,” Roseland said. (Photo: Bismarck Tribune)
