Crews bringing wildfires in Kansas, Oklahoma under control

(AP) — A wildfire that has burned nearly 110 square miles in rural Kansas and Oklahoma still poses a threat, but conditions are improving in the two counties most affected, authorities said.

Dozens of fire trucks and hundreds of firefighters were helping to contain the blaze, John Lehman, the Comanche County emergency management coordinator, said Wednesday.

Mark Goeller, fire management chief of Oklahoma Forestry Services, said an airplane was also being used to dump water on the flames.
