episode_narrativeThursday evening high based thunderstorms produced lightning that ignited four wildfires in Keith County and one in Arthur County. The wildfires burned about 60,000 acres of mainly grasslands, but also threatened dozens of summer houses, town houses, condominiums and rental cabins near the Bayside Golf Club on the southwest shore of Lake McConaughy during the Eagle Canyon Hideaway Fire. One wildfire in northeast Keith County spread into southwest McPherson County. The wildfires were contained overnight where loss of grasslands for grazing could exceed 500 thousand dollars.
event_narrativeA wildfire was ignited by a lightning strike in Keith County at the Glen Echo area that spread into southwest McPherson County overnight. The wildfire burned an estimated 7,500 acres of grassland and timber before containment. Areas of canyon and creek valley were inaccessible for ground firefighting. Rough terrain prevented full containment, but two National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters provided air support that brought the fire under control before containment.
