We have mapped the kinematics of the ionized gas in 30 Dor, and find numerous examples of fast expanding shells. There is good correlation between the high-velocity material and the bright diffuse X-ray emission in 30 Dor. The fast shells are probably supernova remnants, stellar wind-blown bubbles, or combinations of both.
