ANTHON, Iowa (AP) – A fire at a rural northwest Iowa property has destroyed several structures and hundreds of bales. Chief Ryan Baldwin with the Anthon Volunteer Fire Department says the fire started Sunday inside a machine shed, which destroyed a tractor and a feed wagon. The fire spread to a cattle shed, garage and hay shed.

The Sioux City Journal reports 300 cornstalk bales were destroyed. Authorities were able to extinguish the fire before it damaged another set of bales. Firefighters were on scene for about 18 hours. The fire, which remains under investigation, did not spread to the property owners’ home.
