Firefighters from three Texas County, Okla., communities responded to a fire Monday morning between Goodwell, Okla., and Guymon, Okla.
Along with those communities, firefighters from Texhoma, Okla., at 10:35 a.m. Monday, responded to the fire, and Guymon Fire Chief Grant Wadley said the fire located at 2433 Road Z was noticed by a passerby who noticed smoke coming from the residence.
A project with Air Products could be one step closer to happening thanks to some action from the Liberal City Commission Tuesday evening.
Liberal City Manager Scarlette Diseker opened the conversation.
"As you all are aware, the City of Liberal has been in talks with the Air Products Helium team for close to a year regarding the purchase of land south of the Mid-America Air Museum. The survey and appraisal have been completed. We have attached the formal Letter of Intent for the commission's approval," Diseker said. "The appraisal came in at $34,000, or $11,564.63 per acre. We don't typically do LOI's with these types of things, but in the case of Air Products, we are."
USDA has designated two Southwest Kansas counties and two Oklahoma Panhandle counties as Primary Natural Disaster Areas.
This secretarial natural disaster designation allows the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) to extend much-needed emergency credit to producers recovering from natural disasters through emergency loans.
Plans are under way for the Fourth of July celebration in Liberal which will start with a 10 a.m. parade and continue with activities in Light Park until 4 p.m. Then the Bee Jays will host Dodge City at 7 p.m., and fireworks will follow the game.
There is no cost to be part of the parade.
