Hay fire quickly contained near Saratoga

SARATOGA – A hay baler bearing going bad apparently sparked a small fire in a field Sunday evening in the 1700 block of Highway 355 north of Saratoga. The property owner noticed the fire when she stepped outside and notified a relative who help prevent the fire from spreading. The Saratoga Volunteer Fire Department brush truck quickly responded and extinguished the blaze. A volunteer from the Tollette VFD also responded. Photos by Dale Gathright, Jr.
