There were no serious injuries reported.

Black Eagle Fire Department’s Ray Eklund was among the first on the scene.

He described the fast-moving situation: “The combine started on fire, I'm not sure how it started yet. We're going to go out and check that as soon as the fire is out and we get all mopped up. I was first on scene, then Cascade County Sheriff's Department got here and then my two brush trucks got here and my tender.”
