Lyon County District 5 handled two reported fires early Monday afternoon that developed within 30 minutes of each other.
The first call was at Roads 120 and U shortly after 12:15 pm. Smoke was emanating from a combine, but Hartford-Neosho Rapids Fire Chief Greg Zumbrunn says there was no actual fire. Early indications are a mechanical issue was the cause of that incident.
Shortly before 12:45 pm, firefighters went to 211 West in Hartford after a reported grass fire. There was a small controlled burn initially that got out of control.
Besides Hartford-Neosho Rapids, Lyon County District 4 and Lyon County deputies helped with both calls.
