(Watford City, ND) -- Crews are making progress on the Horse Pasture Fire in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The five-thousand acre fire was 50-percent controlled yesterday. Lighter winds have helped crews battling the blaze. Back-burning is helping to eliminate vegetation to contain the blaze. Fire crews will continue back-burning along U.S. Highway 85 to limit fuel for the fire.
