Thank You for checking!

🔥CHECK YOUR BURN PILES TODAY!
If you took advantage of last week's snowfall and burned brush, check those burns today. Fire danger is increasing across the state. Brush piles can rekindle days and weeks after they appear to be out! Most of Kansas vegetation dries out quickly even when the ground remains soggy.
Take precautions with any outdoor burning, and continue to check and re-check your completed burns.

We are desperately asking the public to please SLOW down in this fog. Also, we understand that most of you have automatic headlights, but turn them on manually. Lastly, be very cautious at the K96 intersections in Haven.

Please be cautious.

There will be several railroad crossings across the county that will not be activated due to K&O RR doing maintenance on the crossings. Please use caution when using these railroad crossings and look both way for trains in the area since the signals will not be functional. The railroad advised that they would be down most of the day. We will advise you when the crossing signals are active again.

Here is some great information from Kansas Forest Service. Please be mindful of your situation.

Today kicks off Preparedness Month! It couldn't come at a better time with our fall wildfire season right around the corner.

There are methods for homeowners to prepare their homes to withstand ember attacks during a wildfire and minimize the likelihood of flames or surface fire touching the home or any attachments. Experiments, models and post-fire studies have shown homes ignite due to the condition of the home and everything around it, up to 200’ from the foundation. This is called the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ).

We will explore the 3 HIZ this month, and easy tips that can make your home more defensible against wildfire!
