Wildfires are cropping up all over the state, and one of the most recent blazes, the Bison Fire, has now prompted officials to declare a state of emergency.

As of Tuesday, July 9, the fire has burned more than 25,700 acres of private lands, Native American allotment lands and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands. It's currently at 25 percent containment and officials estimate complete containment by Sunday, July 14.

Voluntary evacuations for roughly 100 homes in the town of Kearny were lifted Tuesday after firefighters achieved 5 percent containment on the lightning-caused wildfire burning in a riverbed south of the town on Tuesday.
