Firefighters from Marion, Salem, Crittenden County’s volunteer departments and Fredonia battled a large field fire Wednesday afternoon on the east side of U.S. 641 near Lilly Dale Road.
The blaze, which started shortly after 4 p.m., quickly spread across grassland and into a cornfield, intensifying the flames. By 5 p.m., crews were still working to bring it under control.
Dry conditions have contributed to the risk, with 34 Kentucky counties currently under burn bans. Officials expect more restrictions to be announced soon.
