On January 28th, 2025 at approximately 12:14pm the Morning Sun Fire Department was requested to respond to 19108 Highway 78 in reference to a barn on fire. Upon arrival crews located an approximately 20×40 barn with extensive fire showing and approximately 10 acres of grass on fire. Due to the extremely dry conditions and gusty winds, Wapello Fire as well as Winfield Fire were requested for additional resources. Crews quickly brought the fire under control and extinguished remaining hot spots. The cause of the fire is believed to have been started from the property owner burning trash earlier in the day. No further details will be released.
