Fire fighters from across the state helped fight the wildfire that burned hundreds of square miles of rural land in Kansas and Oklahoma in March.

The Kansas Forrest Service created a map to show how counties participated.

 

 The fire destroyed at least 41 structures in both states. Authorities in both states determined 16 residential structures and 25 minor structures were destroyed in the blaze.

Nine homes in Barber County were destroyed in the wildfire, according to Ben Bauman, spokesman for the Kansas Adjutant General’s Office.
