Gladstone Hay Stack Fire Destroys Large Pile
A Friday fire at Gladstone destroyed one of Mesers George Fisner and Son’s largest hay stacks. A controlled burn to protect property escaped its bounds as a shift in wind caused rapid spread. Firefighters and workers battled flames with piping, blankets, and harrows until midnight, saving one small sheaf for a grateful farmer. Insurance covered the loss. Fisher and Gona own the stack and are seeking recovery.
