Haystack Fire
Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at 3:03 AM:
Engine 50, Engine 10, Engine 130, Engine 41, Air 20 and County Fire Battalion 3A responded to a haystack fire on a dairy farm west of Newton.
As Engine 50 approached the scene it was determined the distance to the nearest hydrant would be too great to stretch for water supply. A Tender Task Force was requested for water shuttle operations.
Responding on the Tender Task Force were Tender 50, Tender 10, Tender 20, Tender 30, Tender 140 and Franklin County Tender 101.
Units arriving found a haystack fully involved and began suppression operations with hoselines, working to control the fire until heavy equipment could be used to spread the remaining hay.
No injuries or damage to nearby structures were reported. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Newton Fire wishes to express our thanks to the firefighters from the neighboring communities in northern Cache County, Utah and Franklin County, Idaho - your assistance is greatly appreciated!
