Four overdoses were reported within a 24 hour period in Reno County, according to a press release issued by Reno County.
The overdoses are suspected to involve Fentanyl and other Opioids.
The Reno County Health Department has been tracking overdoses and trends since Oct. 1 of 2020. Naloxone (Narcan) is effective for any Opiate and is highly recommended that people carry it and understand how to use it, due to the nature of Opiates and the unsafe and toxic drug supply that includes the presence of Fentanyl and the suspicion of Xylazine.
“Please contact the Reno County Health Department for education on these varying and emerging community health issues at 620-694-2900,” the press release said.
Recovery is possible. There are many pathways to recovery. If you are reading this and you or your loved one is experiencing chaotic substance use, please use the resources below. Recovery doesn’t have to look a certain way, and our community wants to offer its hand to help.
The Reno Recovery Collaborative recommends the following steps and strategies for our community:
• Naloxone (Narcan) education, trainings, and availability https://www.dccca.org/naloxone-program/
• Encourage more people to carry naloxone (Narcan)
* Encourage members of our community who use substances to never use alone
• Check in on friends or family regularly who use substances.
For more local information, education, and specific activities on substance use, or if you want to get involved in the Reno Recovery Collaborative, please contact Thomas Simmons at thomas.simmons@renocountyks.gov.

The Hutchinson Fire Department responded to 228 West B. Ave for the report of a structure fire Wednesday afternoon, according to a press release issued by the department.
First arriving crews found a 2.5-story multi-family residence with heavy smoke and fire showing from the first and second floors. Crews attempted an aggressive interior attack through the front entry and were met with excessive storage conditions and high heat. Crews were able to find a large area of fire and started extinguishment. As more crews arrived on scene, the fire escalated and entered the attic. All crews were removed from the interior of the structure and a defensive attack ensued. Crews used aerial operations and multiple handlines to get the fire under control.
The fire was considered controlled in 1.5 hours.
Seven people and multiple dogs occupied the home. Four were home at the time of the fire. Four of the occupants were seen by Reno County EMS, one of which had minor medical concerns. No firefighter injuries were noted.
An investigation of the fire showed that a space heater started the fire, The home is a total loss displacing all 7 occupants. Red Cross provided assistance.
HFD crews worked in single-digit temperatures for multiple hours. HFD appreciates the kind help from neighbors who stepped up and assisted with warm drinks.
HFD reminds homeowners to make sure that all space heaters have a three-foot clear area to operate in and that the home’s electrical system is capable of handling the power draw.
