Firefighters in Park City, KS, just north of Wichita have been busy for the past few days battling a massive fire of wood pallets.

 The wooden pallets burn easily because they are very dry and there are massive piles of them. The fire began early Sunday evening for unknown reasons. Authorities in Sedgwick County have declared a state of disaster for the fire in hopes of getting more resources to fight it.

The extreme heat this week has made battling the blaze difficult and there are hopes of using Air National Guard helicopters to dump water on the unreachable areas of the fire. Fire crews are on a four-hour rotation and an air-conditioned cooling tent has been set up to help battle the blaze.
