The first call was on Saturday at 11 a.m. Boone County firefighters battled five large nature fires burning at the same time across the county for as long as 14 hours. We started putting out do not burn requests earlier in the weekend, even on Thursday and Friday of last week, telling people that this was not a good time to be burning because things are so dry out there, Blomenkamp said.
The fire district responded to 11 fires in total on Saturday. Over a 9-hour time span, the district sent 50 firefighters and 30 pieces of equipment.
On Sunday, the district responded to 12 more fires, which involved 60 firefighters and 31 pieces of equipment over a 10-hour period.
