Station 50 responded to a vehicle fire east of Newton on State Road 23, a truck pulling a trailer with bales of hay and the hay was on fire. 

Additional water tenders and another engine were requested while en-route. 

The fire had extended to the side of the road and there was a trail of spot fires along the highway where burning hay had fallen from the trailer. 

The fire was contained to the hay on the trailer with minor damage to the trailer. After the fire was extinguished the mutual aid stations returned to quarters while Station 50 personnel removed the rest of the hay from the road.
