-- No one was hurt when a baler caught on fire on Saturday. The Stearns County Sheriff's Office says they received a report around 3:00 p.m. about a baler on fire at 27677 Highway 4 in Spring Hill Township, which is about a mile east of the City of Spring Hill. Once they arrived at the location, deputies found a New Holland baler on fire in the field. Authorities say they spoke with the owner, 58-year-old Randy Bertram of Paynesville. Bertram told them he noticed the baler began smoking in the field while he was baling corn stalks. Bretram says he then moved the baler to a safe location where he was able to plow the ground around it to prevent the fire from spreading. The Lake Henry Fire Department responded to put out the fire.
A traffic accident early Friday morning sent a Verndale man to the hospital with injuries. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a 2015 Freightliner semi, driven by 43 year old Dennis Lindner of Verndale was traveling southbound on County 26 and a Ford Excursion, driven by 65 year old Steven Olmscheid of Brainerd was traveling westbound on Highway 10 when they collided. Both men sustained non-life threatening injuries, but Lindner was transported to Staples Hospital. The Minnesota State Patrol was assisted at the scene by Wadena and Todd County Sheriff's Offices and Verndale Fire.
