On Thursday morning, June 25, 2026 at 10:30amCT, the Jamestown Fire Department was dispatched to a wheat field on fire on the 127 Bypass and Hwy 92.

First units on the scene found a fast moving fire. Engine 3, Tanker 62, and Brush 5 made a quick stop, burning about 5 acres. The fire was caused by a hay baler. Quick thinking of the equipment operator dumping a roll bale and others moving tractors and a combine, prevented other equipment from getting damaged.

Jamestown had 12 firefighters on scene for just over an hour.
