The fire alarm sounded for Geary County rural firefighters Sunday afternoon.

They responded to a 12900 block site near Humboldt Creek Road where a controlled burn from Saturday had rekindled.

No one was injured, but Geary County Rural Fire Chief Garry Berges confirmed a large area of grassland burned, including approximately 80 acres where firefighters set a back burn to put out the main blaze.

The fire jumped Burley Hill Road at one point and came close to a pair of structures, but fire crews were there watching it, and they were able to put it out.

The Geary County Rural Fire Department used seven fire trucks, and approximately 30 volunteers battling the blaze. The Fort Riley Fire Department also responded with two brush rigs to assist.

Berges noted the controlled burn site had been monitored, but early Sunday afternoon due to the strong winds, and change of the wind it rekindled.
