The fire at the Evergreen Recycling Plant continues to burn and Sedgwick County has signed a disaster declaration regarding the fire for at least the next seven days. The disaster proclamation will allow the county to seek additional state resources to fight the fire, which is contained but could continue to burn for several days. Sedgwick County Emergency Management has said air support from the state should be flying in from Salina to help fight the blaze. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
