Indiana Drought Results in Field Fire

Yet another field fire in drought stricken Indiana this harvest season.

Low humidity, high winds and apparently careless flipping of a cigarette combined to start a field fire in Shelby County, Indiana. Acres of dry stubble and standing corn were burned. Local farmers and many volunteer fire departments fought the blaze.

    You're probably right. People are ignorant. A cigarette out the window...

    Worse, some people toss animals on the highway -- is it to be "humane" and let them get hit and killed? What can be the inhuman thinking involved?
