(Milford)– What started off Tuesday as a controlled burn near Milford wound up becoming uncontrolled, burning about eight acres of land on a grassy hillside near a residence.
Shane Langholz of the Milford Fire Department says firefighters were called to 2365 213th Avenue shortly after 3:30 p.m. Upon arriving he says they determined a pile of burning rubbish had gotten out of control.
While firefighters were able to keep the blaze from spreading to a nearby home, it did burn some farm equipment. An estimated dollar amount of the loss wasn’t immediately available.
Milford firefighters were on the scene about an hour and-a-half.
No injuries were reported.
