A grass and cedar tree fire broke out Wednesday afternoon east the Lake Maloney. It was especially heavy in the area of the NPPD outlet canal and along the west side of U.S. Highway 83.
The fire stretched for nearly two miles from north to south on the west side of U.S. 83. North Platte Fire Marshal Mike Montgomery said the call came in at 3:30 p.m. Officials notified the public of the danger at 4 p.m. via the 911 RAVE alert system. They advised residents north of the canal and west of U.S. 83 to evacuate, and repeated the warning at 4:13 p.m.
