What affects fire damage around Richmond

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.

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