Huge Brush Fire Burns 60 Acres Near Mediapolis

An enormous fire burned 60 acres of corn fields and brush just east of Mediapolis on Tuesday.

Mediapolis fire officials say no property damage resulted from the fire, but it took the efforts of four fire departments to get it extinguished.

The fire was in the middle of a field, just behind 23437 92nd avenue.

Mediapolis, Yarmouth, Oakville, and Morning Sun Fire Departments assisted in the knockdown. The cause of the fire is unknown.

Fire officials throughout the area are urging residents not to burn anything or set any fires, recreational or otherwise. Extremely dry conditions combined with high winds have caused the National Weather Service to once again declare a Fire weather warning for parts of the listening area..
