Multiple firefighting crews from around Riley County responded to a wildfire near Randolph last week.

Over thousands of acres could have been burned but with quick response times and over 50 volunteers there was only an estimated 300 acres burned.

Deputy chief Doug Russell shared with Wildcat 91.9 how they put out the wildfire in such difficult terrain.
