Several local fire departments have already been called at least five times this morning and it's likely calls will continue until we receive some precipitation along with greener conditions.

“Our hearts go out to the families and friends of these children. Please keep them all in your prayers as they will have a rough road ahead” says Bates County Sheriff Anderson.
Please stay clear of the area as many first responders and additional crews are arriving at the scene.
