HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Fire Department will be sending reinforcements to the Mullen Fire in Wyoming and Colorado when their current crew finishes its two-week stint.
The fire now spreads over 100,000 acres and over 900 firefighters are fighting it.
The crew worked supporting Lakeview Hotshots on Wednesday doing burn out operations.
Two different Hutchinson firefighters and a Kansas Forest Service employee will be headed west to relieve the original crew in the coming days.
