The Coon Rapids Fire Department responds to a farm northeast of town for a piece of equipment on fire this Wednesday morning.

When arriving on scene, the department quickly extinguished the blaze, remaining at the location for approximately half an hour. Significant damage has been reported and the spreader is deemed a total loss. No injuries or damage to other equipment was reported in the incident.
