Evacuation lifted in Kansas town threatened by plant fire

LEOTI, Kan. (AP) — Officials say evacuations orders have been lifted in a western Kansas town threatened by a fertilizer plant fire. Wichita County Clerk Lynda Goodrich told television station KWCH Tuesday night that barricades to the town of Leoti had been removed and those evacuated allowed to return to their homes. Parts of the town had been evacuated because hazardous materials were involved in the Tuesday afternoon fire at a Nutrien Ag Solutions plant in Leoti. A company spokeswoman said Tuesday that no injuries were immediately reported from the fire. It was not clear by Wednesday morning how many people had been evacuated.
