While it was far from a drought breaker, hopefull Monday’s rain showers will lessen the fire danger. Multiple grass fires have been reported this week. The Superior and Guide Rock departments joined in fighting a fire near the Webster-Nuckolls County line that closed U.S. Highway 136 for a time.
The Ruskin department was called twice for field fires south of town.
A fire near the Smith-Jewell county line on Friday closed U.S. Highway 36 for a time.
The Lawrence department also responded to a call on Saturday.
