A haystack fire Sunday morning brought down power lines, knocking out power to area homes and crop circles near Ephrata. Grant County Fire District 13 responded about 8 a.m. to the area of Road B Northwest and Road 7 Northwest for reports of a large haystack on fire. Firefighters say about 413 tons of hay burned. The flames also burnt through a power pole, causing power lines to fall to the ground. The electrical hazard prompted a closure of Road B through the area. The haystack will continue to burn for several days, according to district 13. Grant County Fire District 5 also responded to the blaze.
