— A fire at a hay field near Hayden quickly was brought under control Thursday by West Routt Fire Protection District firefighters.

The fire was reported at about 2 p.m. in the Breeze Basin area about 2 miles from town.

Hayden Fire Chief Dal Leck said it appeared that a piece of haying equipment hit a rock, and a spark started the fire.



“It was pretty dry,” Leck said.

The fire burned about 1 acre.
