WATFORD CITY Just inside the entrance to the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, two bison were keeping an eye on some of the people working to contain a sprawling wildfire that ignited over the weekend. The animals were lying in the grass across from stacks of blue and orange Gatorade set aside for those responding to the fire Wednesday, and park staff were monitoring them while describing their efforts to control the flames. The 5,000-acre Horse Pasture Fire was 50% controlled Wednesday. Lighter winds have helped crews battling the blaze, according to Beth Hill, acting outreach and education manager for the North Dakota Forest Service.
