Fire fighters from the Falls City Volunteer Fire Department and Falls City Rural Fire Department were called to extinguish a fire at the tree dump north of town that got out of hand Wednesday afternoon.
Gusty 40-mile-per-hour winds swept the fire from the confines of the tree dump to an adjacent field to the north of the dump.
Fire fighters were on the scene for about two-and-a-half hours from 1:10 to 3:40 p.m. No significant damage was reported as a result of the fire.
