The ‘ring of fire’ is no longer burning at the Keeper of the Plains. Here’s why
The “ring of fire” at the Keeper of the Plains has been suspended until further notice, the city of Wichita announced Friday afternoon.
In a release citing “an electronics issue,” the city said the Keeper of the Plains Plaza and surrounding area will remain open during normal hours of access.
During fall and winter hours, the fire pits that surround the 44-foot sculpture normally burn for 15 minutes starting at 7 p.m.
The Keeper statue was created and donated to Wichita by Native American artist and Wichitan Blackbear Bosin. It stands at 650 N. Seneca, where the Big and Little Arkansas rivers meet.
