**Start Date/Time/Location** The Green River Fire started on Friday, March 14, 2025, at the Green River State Wildlife Area in Lee County, Illinois, near the city of Walnut. **Size and Containment** The fire has burned approximately 940 acres and is reported to be 90% contained as of the last update on March 15, 2025[3][5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire spread rapidly due to strong winds and dry conditions. The fire was characterized by 15-foot high flames and required significant resources to control. Mutual aid was requested, and multiple fire departments responded to assist in containing the fire[1]. **Containment Efforts** The Walnut Fire Department, along with several other local and regional fire departments, including Ohio, Manlius, Tampico, La Moille, Yorktown, Sublette, Rock Falls, Amboy, Dixon Rural, Wyanet, Prophetstown, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, worked together to extinguish the fire. Resources included tractors and discs to maintain fire breaks and extensive water usage, with an estimated 40,000 gallons of water used[1].
