Original Post:
The Miami County Sheriff's Office is investigating a fatality accident at 223rd Street and Quivira Road, near Bucyrus. The accident is reported to have occurred just after 12:45 on Monday afternoon. Fire crews arriving on the scene reported the involved truck sustained "extremely heavy damage."
Emergency Dispatchers confirm that one truck was involved in the accident. That truck was occupied by two people. One is reported to be in critical condition and the other was pronounced deceased at the scene. Extensive extrication was required. A heavy rescue rig from the Overland Park Fire Department along with a "large tow truck" responded to the scene for additional assistance with extrication.
Crews were on scene for just over 1 hour and 10 minutes before the patient was fully extricated from the truck. During extrication, one firefighter is reported to have suffered an eye injury. That firefighter was transported to an area hospital for treatment, reported to be "hydraulic fluid" in the eye.
A LifeFlight Eagle helicopter responded to the scene and transported one patient to a Kansas City area trauma center.
A dispatcher advised that from the time the call was received until the extrication was completed, 1 hour and 34 minutes had elapsed.
Deffenbaugh Industries has confirmed, by phone, that one of their vehicle's was involved in the accident. That vehicle was assigned a two person crew, according to a spokesperson.
Fire services are provided to this area of Miami County by Johnson County Fire District No. 2. Emergency Medical transport services are provided my Miami County EMS.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

Olathe issues Burn Ban
Posted: October 28, 2011 - 4:27pm
Updated: October 29, 2011 - 5:54am
The city of Olathe today issued a burn ban that will go into effect beginning Saturday, October 29th.
A statement released this afternoon says that the ban will be in place as a preventative measure and will exclude grills and recreational activities like fire pits.
Olathe Fire Department Division Chief and Fire Marshal Brad Henson said, "Proactive fire prevention measures such as this are important to helping reduce the community's risk to fire."
The ban will remain in place indefinitely, until the unseasonably dry weather conditions improve.
Previously issued burn permits are also suspended and the Fire Department will not be issuing any new burning permits until the ban is lifted.
