ENDICOTT, NE — Firefighters are taking on another wildfire in southeast Nebraska.

After battling multiple blazes Monday, crews were called back to the area east of Highway 8 near Endicott and Rock Creek Station Historical Park for another wildfire. Tuesday's fire is in a similar spot to one crews battle Monday afternoon. 
 
Strong south winds and terrain are complicating firefighting matters. Multiple departments are on scene. 
 
Some are staged along Highway 8. If you are traveling through the area, you are asked to slow down and use caution.
 
It is possible this fire the same as yesterday's that re-sparked due to the dry and windy conditions, but that is not confirmed. Multiple area fire departments has issued burn bans for their districts until the area receives a significant rain. 
 
According to Fairbury fire officials, they are working under a unified command with a Nebraska state Wildland Incident Response and Assistance Team.
