(Creston, IA) – Firefighters from Creston responded early Saturday morning to a report of hay bales on fire at the Creston Livestock Market. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered 11 round bales burning. A second page was made within one-half hour of the initial response (at 12:33 a.m.), requesting additional firefighters for a working fire.<\/p>\n

The bales were located against the east side of the brick building, near the train tracks. An employee used a skid loader to move the bales away from the structure and separate them, aiding firefighters in gaining better access to extinguish the flames. Their assignment was completed in about two-hours, but later Saturday morning, firefighters returned to extinguish the bales that continued to smolder.<\/p>\n
