The fire began yesterday afternoon in the "Frisbee" area- between K-7 and the Kansas (Kaw) River south of Bonner Springs.
At one time- at least 6 fire departments were helping to battle the wildfire that was spread by southerly winds gusting as high as 40 m.p.h..
The BONNER SPRINGS (KS) CHIEFTAIN reported that one firefighter got a minor injury.
Around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning- fire crews from Shawnee were again sent to the area when smoldering embers from yesterday's fire re-ignited.
Today's version of the fire sounds to be well under control- with lower temperatures and higher humidities.
Rain is expected in Metro Kansas City by afternoon- with a chance of rain turning to snow sometime around or after midnight.
