(KLZA)-- The Humboldt Fire Department, along with departments from Pawnee City, Table Rock, Dubois and Summerfield battled high winds to extinguish a wild fire southwest of Humboldt Sunday evening.
Arcing power lines attached to a grain wagon are believed to be cause of fire that burned approximately 160 acres of pasture, CRP, and crop stubble.
The fire started in the area of former Keith Hunzeker residence, jumped the road north and was stopped at Nemaha river.
The fire call went out shortly before 6:00 p.m. with firefighters out on the call until 9:00 p.m.
Flames and smoke reportedly seen from many miles away.
