**Start Date/Time/Location** The East Table Road Fire, part of the Custer County Complex Fire, started in the vicinity of Broken Bow, Nebraska, though the exact start date and time are not specified in the available reports. **Size and Containment** As of the latest updates, the East Table Road Fire, combined with the Lillian Fire, has burned 1,350 acres and is 80% contained[2][5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Initially, the fire was part of a larger complex that included the Eureka Valley Fire and other smaller fires. The combined fires have shown significant progress in containment, with no continuous spread reported since Thursday afternoon[2]. **Containment Efforts** The response efforts are led by fire officials who have divided the fires into two operational divisions. The East Division, which includes the East Table Road Fire and the Lillian Fire, has been supported by multiple aircraft, including two helicopters conducting water drops and aerial observations. The Nebraska National Guard has also been deployed to assist in the firefighting efforts[1][5].
