What affects fire damage around Osage City

Wind driven grass fires, farm and outbuilding fires and cold season heating all play a part, and rural properties can be a long way from a fire station. Smoke from brush or wildland fires can reach parts of Kansas in dry seasons.

Wind can push grass and field fires toward homes and outbuildings.
Farm buildings and shops hold fuel, equipment and stored materials that raise the loss.
Rural homes may rely on a volunteer or district fire department, so damage can be larger by the time crews arrive.
