Karval Fire responded to a hay bale that had been struck by lightening on Saturday. Luckily there had been some much needed moisture in the area that contained the fire to one bale. An hour earlier would have been a different situation, the strike burned all the way through the middle of the bale. Situations like this remind us of how awareness of the weather and lightening safety should be taken very seriously.
