Wildfires - Kansas, USA - Update
The Anderson Creek wildfire that’s burned through nearly 400,000 acres in two states since Tuesday is likely to be fully out soon, according to published reports, as snow fell on Kansas Sunday.
On Saturday, four UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from the Kansas National Guard were deployed to contain the prairie blazes that have burned at least 620 square miles in southern Kansas and Oklahoma, where it originated. Smoke was reportedly detected as far away as St. Louis, Missouri — hundreds of miles to the northeast — as at least four homes and livestock were affected, according to Kansas officials. No serious human injuries or fatalities have been reported.
