The end is coming for a fire that the Sedgwick County Fire Prevention (SCFP) and Bentley and Valley Center Fire Departments have been fighting for over two years. In late 2020, a local landowner purchased material from an ethanol plant in Colwich and had it delivered to his land around 101st Street and 119th Street West, according to Fire Marshal Brad Crisp of the Sedgwick County Fire Prevention. Crisp said he believed the intention was to use the ash as some sort of mineral supplement for the farmland, but it contained a lot of metal and had some combustion going on within the pile, which he estimated as being 20-25 feet wide and at least that high.
