Reno County Firefighters responded to a large rangeland fire that quickly leapt from controlled burn to uncontrolled burn.

The fire burned close to 600 acres of grassland and required assistance from a number of neighboring departments, including Stafford County. Stafford County sent four brush trucks and two tenders according to Stafford County Emergency Management Director Steve Moody.

The unusually warm, windy weather made the fire more difficult for firefighters. The intensity of the fire resulted in one Reno County firefighter being transported by ambulance for medical problems.

The fire was fought for close to three hours before it was controlled.
