A WALL OF FIRE

Hennessey fire fighters, along with agencies from all over the area, worked a very large, fast moving grass fire this afternoon. (Saturday, June 6, 2020). Fire fighters from Okeene, Dover, Meno, Waukomis and others worked in 100 degree heat and high winds to contain the fire. The fire was located in an area about 6 miles west of Hennessey near county roads EW640 and NS2810. The fire burned over several miles of ground narrowly missing several homes. Several farmers helped by discing the ground ahead of the fires.
