Hoaglund Family Escapes Cottonwood Fires Perilous Approach in Nebraska The Cottonwood Fire in Lincoln County, Nebraska, narrowly missed the Hoaglund ranch, coming within inches of destruction before a sudden wind shift saved the day.

The fire, which has scorched over 131,000 acres and is currently 40% contained, posed significant challenges for firefighters due to the rugged terrain and isolated tree pockets.
