The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Very High fire danger index that is predicted to remain in effect at least through Monday and perhaps longer. Saturday & Sunday may reach Red Flag warning status as 30mph wind gusts come through our area.

With little to no moisture received, the burn ban in Bonner Springs as well as surrounding communities is still in effect. You can keep tabs on the fire danger index by following the link below.
