Wilson County Rural Fire and the Neodesha Fire Department responds to several small fires.

The fires were all reported on the roadside along US-400 between Neodesha and Fredonia on Thursday. The fires were all quickly extinguished with no damage or injuries reported.

Firefighters remind residents and drivers alike that the recent hot weather has allowed brush and grasses to dry along roadways making spot fires more likely. Drivers are asked to make sure vehicle are not dragging chains or tie straps that might spark a fire and that all motorists avoid throwing lit cigarettes out of windows.
