 Hay fire
could have started with lighter

Published Tuesday, October 12, 2004
The cause of a hay fire between the NP and Main Avenue bridges in Moorhead
Sunday night may have been set by someone using a lighter, Moorhead Fire Marshal
Rich Duysen said Monday.
Because the fire appeared to have been started in several places, it is
suspected someone set the hay on fire using something like a cigarette lighter
before taking off on the bike path, he said.
However, the official cause remains undetermined, Duysen said.
Fire destroyed six bales of hay that sat near a bike path on the river’s
edge.
The blaze burned for about an hour before firefighters were able to
extinguish it about 10:15 p.m.
