May 5, 2014
Eight Fort Worth fire companies were called as close to 200 hay bales burned.

Fort Worth firefighters spent six hours battling a fire that swept through a large area of hay bales.

Crews from eight companies deployed attack lines and cut the piles apart to protect half of the harvest. Eventually, a bulldozer was called in to help contain the fire.

The fire burned about 200 bales, causing an estimated $200,000 in damage. 

Four engines, three brush units and a ladder truck were at the scene.

Kids were seen running from the area shortly before the fire was discovered.
