PRESCOTT – Fire destroyed around 42 rolls of hay at Ratcliff Farms Tuesday morning.

The call came shortly after 11:30 a.m. concerning a fire at the farm on Hwy. 371. Crews from the Prescott Fire Department and Nevada County Rescue Unit went to the scene and found the hay on fire. The cause of the blaze was unknown at the time, but could have been from spontaneous combustion as the hay was green and the temperatures have been high of late.

There were no injuries and crews remained on the scene until the fire was out.
