Caution urged after debris burn damages two satellite dishes
Fire Chief says the East Garden Village incident started as a controlled debris burn on storage property. Two maintenance workers burned scrap wood in a pit near a roofless storage building, aided by gusting wind that melted two satellite dishes and prompted a Garden City Fire Department response. Authorities note permits are required for open burns outside city limits, with KDHE rules governing timing and materials.
