Efforts to combat a wildfire in Meade County have proven successful, according to a report from the National Weather Service.
“Dry thunderstorms on the afternoon of May 14 sparked multiple wildfires across Southwest Kansas, and a significant cluster of wildfires continued through the night across Meade County into Clark County,” the report said. “The city of Meade was briefly evacuated overnight as the Meade State Park fire continued north toward the south part of the city. As of 5 a.m., Friday, firefighting efforts contained the fire enough to lift the evacuation order.”
