HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Tuesday's fire between 30th and 4th and between Willison and Buhler Road is officially contained.

As of 10:30 this morning, the Albright fire has been declared 100% contained.

Fire crews wrapped up last night operations and final monitoring inspections this morning. A few hotspots remain; however, each of these hotspots are deep into the black burnt out area and should not pose a problem. Additional information on size of the fire (acres) and property values will be released next week.

The Hutchinson Fire Department wants to remind citizens that again today we are in a very high fire danger and the county has instituted a burn ban for today.
