The song lyrics of ‘it only takes a spark to get a fire going’ are relevant these days. Those sparks have state and local fire officials on edge this time of year. Spring is typically known as wildfire season in the Midwest. Understanding weather conditions and climate trends is a key aspect of fighting and preparing for wildfires in Kansas, state fire officials said. High winds in the past couple of weeks forced the Franklin County Emergency Management to issue burn bans. Tom Winter, Franklin County Emergency Management coordinator, said they follow state statute in issuing burn bans when the winds are going to be 15 MPH or higher that day. “We also watch for relative humidity,” Winter said. “It can actually make the fire much worse.”
