Firefighters in Wilson County respond to two calls on Monday.
The first call came on Monday afternoon when Wilson County Rural Fire was dispatched to a report of a railroad trestle on fire just southeast of Fredonia. Crews arrived on scene to find the trestle fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters were able to quickly contain the flames and extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported. Representatives from the railroad were called to the scene to determine what repairs will need to be made.
Wilson County rural Fire and Neodesha Fire were both paged to a second blaze around 9:30 that night. Crews responded to a scene near the intersection of 410 and Udall Road or about 4 miles east of Neodesha. There, firefighters found a grass fire near a pump jack. The blaze was contained with no injuries reported.
