If you live in Cass and surrounding counties, you may wonder where the smokey air is coming from. According to the Cass County Communications Center and local fire officials, the smoke is from a wildfire in Kansas. However, if you think the smoke is from a local structure fire and can see flames or more dense smoke, don’t hesitate to call 911.

Local firefighters will be glad to investigate. (Per Brad Penton, Cumberland Fire Chief)
