Fire Destroys Truck in Reardan Blaze

While Carl and George Koeller were hauling straw last Wednesday with their father's truck from Roy Plaster's field, the carburetor caught fire and when they tried to put it out, the stubble underneath the truck ignited, setting fire to the truck and the stubble field. The truck was completely destroyed.

George ran to the home of O. E. Mahrt [48982 Rice Rd E, Edwall], where the alarm was spread. The Reardan volunteer fire department, the state road crew, working on the Reardan-Edwall road, and neighbors responded. Backfiring saved the farm buildings of Adolph Anderson [49282 Alexander Rd E, Reardan]. Roy Koeller's standing wheat in an adjoining field was saved by the state road crew's water sprinkler and by a truck plowing a strip around the field. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Plaster wish to thank the Reardan fire department, their neighbors and especially the state crew for their assistance in halting the fire.
