HAY GOES UP IN SMOKE

HAY GOES UP IN SMOKE

More than $100,000 worth of hay has been lost in a fire near Arvin. The flames broke out around 7:50 Tuesday morning on Sandrini Road near Wheeler Ridge Road, and Kern County Fire Engineer Anthony Romero says they needed a dozer to help them get a handle on 1,200 burning bales. Crews also had to call in tender trucks because of limited water in the area.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
