No updates, just being nosey too. Glad to hear no injuries.

Trucks just went past my house a few minutes ago so I came on here to see what was going on. That's a residential street, hope the fire doesn't spread to the woods or neighbors homes. It's pretty windy here right now.

I turned the scanner on and heard something about explosions from a shed. Sounds like they have it pretty much under control now.

Hope not. Wind dried the ground up pretty good, and with it being breezy, it'll move about quickly.



Yeah, probably doing exterior operations for now. They've got a combine fire in Avenue, and they've been there for over an hour. I think they just now got the fire out. They were having a hard time accessing it, then they couldn't put it out with the brush truck they had, and they had to stretch a good deal of hose from a pumper-tanker. Then they couldn't get the adapters right, then they lost the nozzle. Sounded like a mess.
