WRIGHT TOWNSHIP (AP) — A series of wheat field fires in western Michigan has prompted an arson investigation, authorities said.
Two fires were reported recently just outside the village of Waldron, according to the Hillsdale Daily News.
The first fire last week damaged 15 acres with a damage estimated of $10,000. The following day firefighters were dispatched to another fire on five acres of wheat stubble. Shortly after, Lenawee County firefighters authorities were called to Wright Township to a field fire on 50 acres of straw waiting to be baled. The damage was an estimated loss of $5,000.
Fire officials have not determined if the fires were connected.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact fire officials in Wright Township or the Crime Stoppers of Lenawee County, which is offering a cash reward for information.
