Wildfires near Ashland, Kansas Completely Singed the Earth in 2017

Taking a look at the two photos below, you’ll notice birds-eye views of a small area on the outskirts of Ashland, Kansas. These photos were taken before and after a devastating wildfire. This particular fire was part of a cluster of four huge fires in Kansas and Oklahoma that had spread for approximately 780 thousand acres. 

It goes without saying that the amount of destruction endured by this city was devastating. Parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas were affected by these wildfires, which, in hindsight, were no big surprise. Apparently, the area at the time had the perfect weather conditions for a wildfire to spread.
