The Madison Fire Department sent three fire trucks Wednesday evening to a rural site about 9 miles south of Madison to extinguish a controlled burn site.
Fire Chief Randy Minnaert reported that his firefighters received the emergency call at about 5:30 p.m. and they were sent to 24255 453rd St. in Orland Township.
Minnaert said a farmer had created a burn site for dead trees and junked wood, but there was a premature start in burning the material. Firefighters kept the fire from spreading to a rural residence.
No injuries or major property damage were reported.
