VIDEO: Fire crews in Gratiot County took on a field fire in Breckenridge that claimed roughly 50 acres of crops. According to Breckenridge-Wheeler Township Fire Chief Jeff Westall, crews were dispatched just before 2:30 Friday afternoon to a 93-acre field about a mile southwest of the Lincoln and Meridian Roads intersection. With wind conditions playing a factor, the fire had already burned through 35 acres of beans by the time it had been identified. Several farm groups and several surrounding fire departments were called in for mutual aid to help prevent the fire from spreading further. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
