Ranger Road Fire KS

[Birdbander]

Anyone here affected by this current fire? My ex wife lives in Ashland, KS, one of the towns ordered to evacuate. Her & the dog are now safely in Wichita awaiting news. I've heard other towns & areas also under evacuation orders.

Hope all are safe.

Wildfires are raging in SW Kansas. I-70 is closed due to a massive vehicle pile-up due to poor visibility from blowing dust. Traveling west is not a good idea at this time.

I-70 closures due to blowing dirt (and maybe smoke), multiple fatalities :

Its a bad deal for the people, livestock and wildlife over a large area.

Thanks for the updates kansasdad.

I don’t know how much a CAT motor grader cost brand new, but that was almost a complete loss. Close call.

Hope it all gets put out.

Just heard Ashland residents were given the all clear to return.
