Wildfires in western North Dakota burn more than 120,000 acres, claim two lives

Firefighters from various agencies have of late been battling wildfires in western North Dakota that have torched houses and taken lives. The massive fires also have destroyed wildlife habitat across some 120,000 acres. Hunters headed that direction this fall should find out in advance if the blazes might be cause for changed plans.
