Banner County returned home Saturday night from the Morrill Fire. We experienced some of the most intense fire behavior I’ve seen. We worked with some great crews: Bushnell, Kimball, Mitchell, Big Springs, Chappell, Potter, Sidney, Holyoke, Lyman, Racket, Heart of the Hills, and Mullen. All the crews performed their best in some very difficult conditions. Estimated acreage is half a million acres burned.

At 10:15 on January 18, Banner County VFD was notified of a grass fire nine miles west of Hwy 71 on Hwy 88W and one mile north. Due to high winds and potential for spreading, mutual aid was requested from Lyman-Kiowa Volunteer Fire Department, LaGrange Fire Department, and Scottsbluff Rural Fire Protection District. The fire was quickly brought under control followed by extensive mop-up to ensure all embers had been extinguished. The last truck cleared at 2:30.

The cause was determined to be sparks from a downed power line due to the high winds. 76 acres of grass was burned as well as 1/4 mile of fence.

Thank you to everyone who assisted us. 13 fire trucks, 24 firemen, 2 officers from Banner County Sheriff Office, and local farmers for a disc and payloader.

Thank you also to all the local residents who called us about this fire. Due to your reports from multiple directions I was able to triangulate the location and we knew exactly where we were going. We are truly blessed to live where neighbors are still neighbors.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Mitchell Fire Department, friends, and family of Josh.
