LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Landowners and fire professionals are invited to attend a prescribed fire conference in Kearney.

The agenda includes presentations from experts in prescribed burning, in-depth breakout sessions, exhibitors, the first meeting of the Nebraska Prescribed Fire Council and a banquet dinner.
