WILSON COUNTY —With more fire weather warnings in portions of Kansas, officials are asking the public to monitor their previous controlled burns.

On Monday Wilson County fire units were paged out for embers blowing across a road into unburnt pastures from a controlled burn conducted Sunday, according to a social media report from the rural fire department.

Fire officials ask that you to double check your burns from the last couple weeks.

Just after 3pm Monday additional crews were paged out for a grassfire in the Southeast corner of the Wilson County. There are not reports of injury. Officials did not release details on what caused the afternoon grass fire.
