Grass Fire Caused By Controlled Burn
ROSSVILLE, Kan. (KSNT) – Fire investigators determined a controlled burn wasn’t completely put out and reignited two days later, causing the grassfire near Rossville.
The fire started in Shawnee County but the wind carried it north to Jackson County. Rossville Fire Captain Travis Thompson said the fire burned more than 3,000 acres across both counties. He said this is a reminder to make sure all fires are completely put out when you leave.
“I think the lesson is, if you’re going to do a controlled burn, you want to make sure that before you leave it, that it’s all the way out, that’s the most important thing,” said Thompson.
He said a garage and a couple abandoned buildings were burned in the fire.

CJ Article On Nemaha-Central FB Game
Rossville had to work more than they had in recent games to survive this semi-final playoff game. After three quick TD in the first 15 minutes, Rossville had to contend with a Nemaha-Central comeback that brought the half-time score to 19-13 and created some hope for the thunder since they received the 2nd half kick-off.
But, no worry. QB Torrey Horak took care of that in the second half with his feet and successful passes to Bo Reeves, Parker Kenny, Woodrow Rezac, Kaiden Brown, and Corey Catron
