Fires Break Out

Monday, February 2, 2009

There were a few fires out in the counties on Saturday, as the area saw it's 3rd NWS Red Flag Warning of the season. The EOC monitored the situation throughout the day. The larger of the fires for our counties was located in Potter County near the 2381 & 1061 split and burned an estimated 500 acres. Remember that burn bans are in place in Randall and Potter County issued a seven-day emergency burn ban today while the commisioners formally implement the prior scheduled ban on Feb. 9.
