Inwood, Iowa — A cattle self-feeder and two lawnmowers were destroyed in a fire on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, near Inwood.
According to Inwood Fire Chief Troy Van Beek, at about 1:20 p.m., the Inwood Fire Department was called to the report of a self-feeder on fire at 2454 Cleveland Avenue, a mile east and a half of a mile south of Inwood.
The chief says the fire department saw a wooden cattle self-feeder fully engulfed, along with two lawnmowers and rubbish around the area as they approached the scene.
Van Beek says no injuries were reported.
The Larchwood Fire Department was paged for mutual aid, but Van Beek says he told them while they were en route that they could turn around.
He says the cause of the fire appeared to be embers from a burning pit.
Chief Van Beek reports that the self-feeder and the mowers were completely destroyed.
He says the firefighters who responded were on the scene for about an hour.
