drought

Bismarck Fire Department sent several trucks to a house fire located at 1609 E Ave C, Bismarck Sunday.

The dry summer continues in North Dakota, forcing many towns and municipalities to urge residents to conserve water.

With little or no rain in the area, local farmers, ranchers and cattlemen are feeling the heat.

The drought continues and area farmers and ranchers need moisture for their crops and planting. The little bit of rain expected for over night Monday into Tuesday morning did not have much, if any effect on the Bismarck-Mandan area.
