ROUND LAKE — Firefighters from Round Lake, Bigelow and Brewster worked together Monday afternoon to knock down a blaze and battle smoldering flames in some round bales located on a rural Round Lake farm.
Property owners Seth and Kaia Darling said Kaia came home and found the bales in flames.
“I saw it two miles away and called my husband,” Kaia said. “I told him I thought we had a problem.”
Her first though was for the livestock, and she admitted she had already decided she would just open gates and hope her heifers came back later. But the fire was contained to the round bales.
Seth called the fire in, and is unsure how it started.
The high winds made the fight more of a challenge, but didn’t stop firefighters from laying down foam on the bales that were on fire. Once down to smoldering piles, the firefighters used machinery, pitch forks and hoses to spread apart the hay and make sure the fire was out.
