NORFOLK, Neb. -- Multiple authorities responded a hay bale fire south of Norfolk near the Stanton County line on Sunday.

According to the Norfolk Fire Captain Scott Bonsall, first arriving units saw multiple large piles of hay bales and a shed on fire.

A building that was used for storing and mixing feed was also on fire, Bonsall said.
