Monday Brush Fire
October 28, 2008
Gusty winds Monday afternoon led to the rapid spread of a fire in a Walnut Hill hayfield.
The fire was reported about 4:00 in a field on Kansas Road, just off Arthur Brown Road in Walnut Hill. A roll of hay in a hay baler caught fire. The farmer dumped the roll of hay into the field to save the baler, and that set about a half acre of the field on fire.
There were no structures threatened or damaged, and there were no injuries.
The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire-Rescue responded to the call. It took about an hour to extinguish the fire.
