The Mercer County Fire Protection District responded to a report of a hay field on fire on Saturday.

Upon arrival, firefighters discovered several hay bales, a pickup and a large portion of the hay field on fire.  Strong winds made it difficult for firefighters to control and contain the fire.

Crews enlisted the help of a tractor and rake to move the windrows away from the fire. After the fire was contained firefighters burned around the bales to help prevent flare-ups.

The address and owner of the property were not disclosed.
