The Emergency Manager for the City of St Joseph has lifted the evacuation order for Elwood Street in St Joseph.
Authorities ordered residents of at least three houses on Elwood St. to evacuate Sunday after a brush fire threatened the area. City crews set up roadblocks and police redirected traffic away from the area for several hours.
The fire apparently started when a controlled burn in Doniphan County, Kansas burned out of control. The fire produced embers that were caught in the wind and blown over the Missouri River into St Joseph.
The National Weather Service has issued another Red Flag Warning for the area. High winds, warm temperatures and low humidity increase the chances of a fire spreading.
Doniphan County has continued its outdoor burning ban until further notice.
