FIREFIGHTERS DOUSE HAY BARN FIRE IN RURAL JOSEPH

First on-scene firefighter plays water on burning hay bales
Joseph volunteer firefighters fought a hay barn fire on Countryside Road in rural Joseph between Joseph and Enterprise Thursday afternoon, June 12.

Firefighters manning two engines and two water tenders responded rapidly. Visible flames were extinguished in short order, but it took several hours for the hay bales to be pulled apart and interior fire to be doused.

The small metal barn appeared to still be usable.

The cause is undetermined, but ashes from a previous burn pile nearby were still smoking when firefighters arrived.
