Firefighters battle spreading grass fires in northeast Kansas
Grass fires fanned by near hurricane gusts covered parts of northeast Kansas this weekend. A 200 acre blaze east of Stull prompted an evacuation near North 1600 and East 400 roads but was declared under control by Saturday morning with no injuries or structures lost. The Army Corps of Engineers and Kansas Wildlife and Parks manage the area while fire officials monitor conditions and investigate, as red flag warnings and an emergency proclamation shaped responses statewide.
