**Start Date/Time/Location** The Historia Fire in Kansas began on March 27, 2025, in Grant County. The exact time and location of the fire's start are not specified in the available sources. The fire is located approximately 1 mile east of Ulysses, Kansas[1]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest reports, the Historia Fire has burned approximately 1,500 acres and is currently 80% contained[1]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire has been fueled by critical fire weather conditions, including high winds and low humidity, which are common in Kansas during the spring season, especially under La Niña conditions. Strong winds across Kansas have contributed to the rapid spread of the fire[1]. **Containment Efforts** Firefighters and emergency responders are actively working to contain the fire. The efforts involve local fire departments, possibly with support from state and federal agencies, although specific details on the unified command structure are not provided[1].
