**Start Date/Time/Location** The specific details for the BIA 4 Fire, such as the exact start date, time, and location, are not provided in the available sources. However, it is mentioned that several fires have been active in North Dakota, including those on tribal lands[1][5]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest reports, nearly all of the 16 fires around the state, including those on tribal lands, are 100% contained. However, the status of the BIA 4 Fire specifically is not detailed in the sources provided[1]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fires in North Dakota have been driven by strong winds and rugged terrain, which have made suppression efforts challenging. For example, the Elkhorn Fire, which is one of the significant fires in the area, rapidly spread in a south-easterly direction driven by strong northwest winds[4]. **Containment Efforts** Local, state, tribal, and federal resources have been working together to contain the fires. The response includes ground crews and aerial support, such as National Guard Black Hawk helicopters[5].
