    This fire is believed to be started by an electrical fence. There are 500 hay bails that are burning. There was 5 or 6 different fire dept's to respond to this fire. I saw it around 2pm CST and it is now 7:30pm and it is still burning and will take most, if not all, night to put out. The fire is pretty well contained but still a dangerous situation if the wind were to spread it. To the South are a line of houses and bunch of trees. To the North and East is open field. To the West is the road and more open field. Houses are spread around the entire fire.

    No one was injured during the fire.

    Do you know that awkward moment where, after you read the beginning of the message, you realize that he weren't talking about an In-Game fire ?
    That's why I liked the message!

    36 Hours later, fire is out and all hay bales are buried in the ground.

    By an electrical fence, most likely grass fell on/touched it, heated up and started the fire.
