We could see the flames over three miles away. (it's pretty flat in Tipton county) There were five or six tanker trucks and at least six fire trucks along with several other emergency vehicles. It appeared that the fire was located right outside some woods but not near any structure that I could see. I was thinking it could possibly be a plane crash but it burned well over 1 1/2 hours before it was smoldering white smoke when we finally took a drive out to it.
Does anyone know what was on fire? Was it a structure or something else? What ever it was it had a lot of available fuel to burn that long.

I was listening to this when it was happening last night. It was a fully involved barn fire. I believe that the fire extended to a home, but I am not 100% sure on that even though I could swear that I heard someone say on radio that it had extended to a home. The departments that responded from Howard county for mutual aid were Russiaville, Harrison Twp, and Taylor Twp.dlbrock said:Fire was located west of 900 West on 400 North.

As the Co system came on line the Fire Fighters were still on VHF and State Back up with a "Rush" Call for a fireman down in the basement. We now have a funnel on the ground at West Point moving East. The ambulance dispatched to the fireman down call is now stuck in the mud. Can anything else go wrong at once?
