No outdoor burning today (3/15) in Riley County. Dangerous fire conditions are expected for several days. Check and recheck all recent fires (chimineas, campfires, brush piles, controlled burns, etc.) Call 9-1-1 if you see or suspect a wildfire.
“Last year we had several major wildfires in Riley County and many across the state. Much of our landscape is fuel rich, very dry, and ready to burn with high intensity, and we ask people to stay vigilant this season," said Deputy Fire Chief John Martens.
