Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Oct 15, 2012) — Dry conditions, coupled with controlled burns, made for another busy day of fire fighting for the Jamestown Rural Fire Department on Monday.

At 3:20 p.m., the rural fire department was called to five miles southwest of Jamestown on Highway 46.

Five trucks and 10 JRFD firefighters were dispatched, and farmers with a tractor and a disc helped.

That fire burned a little more than 40 acres. The units were on the scene about 45 minutes.

Later, the rural fire department was called to a tractor fire, north of Spiritwood, near Stutsman County Road 62 and 28th Street.

A tractor and disc were damaged while digging a fire break.

Three trucks and six firefighters were on the way to the call, as another call was received, to a burning slough, with a utility pole on fire.

One truck and two rural firefighters were sent.
