This photo was taken about 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, after a fire was reported to the Nuckolls County Dispatch. Members of the Nelson Volunteer Fire Department (see rig in right foreground) received the report of a fire along Highway 136 just west of road 3800 at approximately 2:45 p.m. Highwinds, with gusts up to 55 miles per hour, and the gently sloping farm field fully exposed to the wind helped to accelerate the blaze at an alarming rate.
