VALLEY, Neb. (KMTV) — Dry, windy conditions helped kick up a brush fire west of the Pines Country Club near Valley Tuesday afternoon.

Valley Fire says a hot combine started the fire while harvesting beans.

Mostly harvested land burned and the owner of the land says a fire extinguisher on-hand helped get things under control.

“One of the combines, apparently, had a bearing that got hot and it spread it that way. You know through the residue coming out the back,” said Bill Snide.

The call for the fire came around 3:40 p.m.
