The Herbert Fire Department (HFD) responded to a smoke investigation at 16:39 hours, located east of Rush Lake. A team of three personnel arrived at the scene to discover a fire burning atop a flooded hay field. The photos show the fire's progression through the dry, yellow grass situated above the water-covered terrain. Additionally, a full rainbow was observed. An investigation determined the fire's origin to be a smoldering bale.
