Three fires burning in the Midwest are threatening hundreds of homes and have forced the closure of Mount Rushmore Memorial National Park.

Wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington are some of the biggest on record, and experts said a combination of factors could continue to make them more frequent.

The 244 Fire shut down Mount Rushmore after it burned through 75 acres Monday afternoon, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told reporters Monday. There were at least 15 structures in and around Mount Rushmore that were threatened, said Travis Mason-Bushman, spokesperson for the U.S. Forest Service. Some of the structures are the homes of park rangers and others are places where tourists visit, Mason-Bushman said.

Another fire, the Keystone Fire, was contained to 15 acres on Monday night, according to the latest update on the Great Plains Fire Information website.
