Cowley County emergency service personnel were scrambling Wednesday after an accident and two fires spring multiple agencies into action. An accident on Summit Street in Arkansas City was followed by a grass fire that started from burning tires on 61st Road, and a landfill fire on 81st Road. The Atlanta Fire Department also fought at least one grass fire in the county, according to scanner records. An all-call went out during the landfill fire for Ark City fire/EMS personnel to respond to the fire station to assist with calls.

Cowley County deputies assisted Winfield police Wednesday afternoon by responding to a motor-vehicle accident when Winfield’s call volume was high.
