Strong southerly winds whipped sparks from a burn pit fire into a nearby grove Thursday night, touching off a small but fast-moving fire in the trees and brush. The Hartington Volunteer Fire Department was called to the scene five miles east of Hartington, as flames crept through the dry undergrowth and smoke drifted across the area. Firefighters moved quickly to keep the blaze from spreading deeper into the grove, bringing the fire under control before it could threaten nearby property. Kellyn Dump | Cedar County News
