Given the drought conditions, the fire marshal in Reno County recommended that people wait until May or June to burn brush piles as the dry conditions have allowed burns to escape. A recent wildfire was thought to have been a reignited fire that was lit two weeks ago during a snowstorm.
Recent snow was not enough to alleviate drought conditions.
