That was the estimate of damage caused by a Tuesday fire at the Herbster Angus property on the northwest edge of Falls City.

Falls City Rural Fire Department Chief Mike Ramsey called damage to the three-sided shed extensive. He estimated 2,200 large square bales of hay, a Case front-end loader andother equipment were destroyed by the fire
which was reported around 8 Tuesday morning.
Firefighters from the Falls City Rural Fire Department, Falls City Volunteer Fire
Department, and the Verdon Volunteer Fire Department responded to the mutual-aid call. The Verdon Department brought a tanker truck and Brewer Farms also provided a tanker.
Ramsey thanked all those responding to the call to battle the blaze and providing
equipment. Member of the Falls City Rural Fire Department remained on the scene until 4:30 Tuesday afternoon. It is likely the hay in the building will continue to smolder for several days.
