Haystack Fire Smoke May Be Visible Next Few Days

Smoke from a haystack fire may be visible Northeast of Dillon for the next week. Speaking with Fire Chief B.J. Klose they are unsure what started the haystack on fire. The hay was freshly baled and was not compressed enough to ignite on its own and may have been struck by lightning. As of now the way to deal with the fire is to let it burn itself out as it is in an open field with no structures nearby. The fire is a few miles down the Stone Creek Road.
