WASTA, S.D. – Fire crews in the Wasta area helped knock down a fire off I-90 Saturday afternoon.
The fire was sparked by a semi trailer hauling bales of hay which caught fire.
The fire spread into the north ditch and into the center median causing six acres to burn.
The fire was quickly extinguished by local fire crews, but more work was needed to extinguish the fire within the hay bales.
I-90 was shut down to one lane for nearly seven hours during the fire, which was located at mile marker 96.
