News

Atlantic Fire and Rescue personnel, along with crews from Audubon, Exira and Harlan responded to an incident at a grain bin northeast of Audubon Thursday afternoon. According to officials, the accident happened just before 1-p.m. There’s very little in the line of information available early this (Friday) morning, but on the Harlan Fire Department’s Facebook page, officials said “Unfortunately the outcome wasn’t as good as we had hoped.”

Atlantic, Exira and Harlan crews provided mutual aid to the Audubon Fire Department in handling the incident, with Atlantic providing its aerial truck. We hope to have more information later this morning, on KJAN and on the web at kjan.com.
