If you heard sirens this weekend, chances are it was your local fire department in route to one the many calls that went out:
Drexel Fire responded to a rollover accident yesterday about two miles east of town that sent two to Kansas City hospitals with critical injuries.
Butler Fire/Rescue responded to the scene of a rollover at 52 and K highway that injured on person.
Today, grass fires were fought in the Harmony Mission area, another near Foster and one near Virginia that destroyed a farm tractor.
This afternoon, Adrian, Butler and Amsterdam fire departments responded to a report of smoke coming from a house near the Miami School, but nothing was found.
Needless to say, conditions are extremely dry and with a little wind a grass fire can be out of control in no time. Don't forget that burning is currently banned within the city limits of Butler and Adrian. It is highly advisable for those out in the county to avoid burning until we get some moisture, too.
The good news? We have a 70% chance of rain through Monday night, then cooler temps the rest of the week.
