High winds turned a controlled burn into an out-of-control fire Saturday afternoon near Louisville.

A homeowner was trying to clear out some weeds and brush in a ditch. Instead, the strong winds whipped the fire into a much larger one burning close to 10 acres along Highway 31 west of Highway 50.

The fire also burned some trees on the property. No one was hurt nor were any structures damaged.

Firefighters from Springfield and Gretna extinguished the flames and offered some advice to others thinking about a controlled burn.

“Always watch your wind conditions, watch the weather forecasts and keep an eye on it because like everybody knows, weather here in Nebraska can change rapidly," says Springfield firefighter Bob Roseland.
