Firefighters extinguish a wheat straw fire near the intersection of State Route 119 and Rolfes Road near the Marion Industrial Park on Tuesday afternoon. Chickasaw Fire Chief Mark Seitz said that at the time of the fire, wheat straw was being bailed, and investigators believe the farm equipment ignited the fire. About 14 firefighters on three grass trucks, one engine and one tanker from the Chickasaw, Osgood and St. Henry fire departments responded. No injuries were reported.
