The Northeast Sedgwick County Park in Wichita, Kansas, will be closed for scheduled prescribed burns, weather permitting. The county believes these fires will eliminate overgrowth and weeds on the property and are an important part of park maintenance and ecosystem management. Those with allergies or asthma are advised to stay indoors and keep their windows closed. The fire department will evaluate weather conditions before proceeding.
