(KLZA)-- Firefighters were called to a location northwest of Humboldt Saturday afternoon to battle a fire that included a silage pile, a large ground hay pile and large round hay bales along with grass.

The Humboldt Fire Department Facebook page reported a neighbor brought in a tractor and disk to help battle the fire and an excavator was used to bury the hay bales.

Fire fighters remained on the scene for several hours to put out hot spots.

High winds hampered efforts to extinguish the fire.

One tanker and crew then went to Peru to assist departments that had been on the scene of a grass and timber fire since it started Friday evening.
