episode_narrativeWarm, dry and windy conditions combined to produced dangerous fire weather conditions across southeast Minnesota in early October. Sustained south winds of 15 to 30 mph, with higher gusts, combined with temperatures in the lower 80s and dew points in the middle 40s to create conditions that prompted the issuance of red flag warnings. At least two field fires occurred in these conditions near Austin (Mower County) but the fires were quickly put out with only minimal equipment and crop losses.
event_narrativeA fire started in a combine and quickly spread to the field being harvested. The fire was being fanned by 30 mph wind gusts and was able to jump a road and start another field on fire. No damage occurred to the combine, but around 2 acres of corn was lost in the blaze. Farmers assisted firefighters in putting the fire out by spreading manure and tilling the dirt around the perimeter of the fire.
