If you noticed smoke or flames in Reno County on Thursday, do not be alarmed. Fire Crews are doing what they can to keep wildfires from igniting. Thursday was the last day the Hutchinson Fire Department is fighting future fires with fire. “If this field was on fire it would allow the crew to come and start working without a lot of other resources,” said Doug Hanen, the Division Chief of Operations for the Hutchinson Fire Department. As the temperatures in Kansas begin to warm up, so does the risk of wildfires.
