(KNZA)--Multiple fire departments battled a large field fire in Nemaha County Saturday.

The Sabetha Fire Department, in a social media post, said the fire was caused when a combine sparked while operating near Woodlawn. Due to very high winds, the fire spread rapidly.

The fire burned hundreds of acres and threatened several homes and outbuildings.

Fortunately, the Department said all structures were saved from damage and nobody suffered serious injuries during the incident.

Volunteer firefighters from Sabetha, Wetmore, Goff, Centralia, Seneca, Powhattan, Fairview, Hiawatha and Morrill responded.

Heinen Brothers provided two crop duster planes who performed aerial water drops. In addition, multiple farmers brought in tractors to disk the fields to help slow the fire's spread. Multiple heavy graders and bulldozers responded, as well as large tanker trucks from ag services that normally transport chemicals and fertilizers, which were filled with water to assist.

The last of the crews left the scene nearly 7 hours after being called.
