Geary County rural firefighters had a busy weekend.

Rural Fire Chief Garry Berges reported they had to respond to multiple grass fires on both Saturday and Sunday. He calculated the number of calls on Saturday at six, and eight to nine more on Sunday.  There were no injuries or structure damage.  Some of the cases involved callbacks to areas where there had been earlier fires.

The biggest blaze on Sunday occurred in Dickinson County about two miles west of the Rock Springs Four-H Center in the 1800 block of Wolf Road. The Geary County Rural Fire Department sent in three units to assist the Woodbine Fire Department in Dickinson County.

Other fires were reported along I-70, in the Boller Road, Clarks Creek Road areas and near K-57 Highway south. There were also fires on Latke and Lilly Roads southwest of Junction City.

On Saturday the calls came in for fires on Humboldt Creek Road, Clarks Creek Road, Nelson Road off of J-Hill Road, Hawkins-Smith Road off of J-Hill Road.

Berges also noted Dickinson County units responded to several grass major fires, and Riley County authorities worked a major grass fire east of the town of Riley. Fort Riley firefighters were called into assist there.
