Road closed in Lincoln after wildfire breaks out

This story will be updated.

The town of Lincoln closed a stretch of West Broadway on Wednesday afternoon, after a wildfire broke out.

The road is closed from 608 W. Broadway to Folsom Concrete.

Dry conditions prompted the fire department last week to stop issuing open burning permits and rescind existing permits for the towns of Lincoln, Winn and Chester. The pause was to remain in effect until Thursday.
