(Red Oak) Strong winds downed power lines in the 1500 block of M Avenue and caused a ditch fire late Friday afternoon.
Red Oak Fire Chief John Bruce says fire departments from Red Oak, Elliott, and Grant were dispatched at 4:58 p.m. Strong winds were rapidly spreading the fire. Firefighters contained it and kept it from spreading to some nearby structures.
MidAmerican Utilities responded to the scene to restore the power lines. No injuries reported.
