WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – According to firefighters, a major fire in northwestern Wichita has been brought under control but continues to burn as of early Wednesday morning. They advise motorists to be careful due to smoke rising over Kansas Highway 96.
The fire was reported at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the CDR Landfill located at 4250 West 37th Street North.
