The Adel Fire Department responded to a call for a fire Tuesday afternoon in Adel.

Fire Chief Braden Nemechek says at approximately 1 p.m. they received a call for a garbage truck that was thought to be on fire. Nemechek says before they arrived the garbage truck driver was able to dump the load, which was the source of the fire, and it was burning in the parking lot next to World Liquor and Tobacco + Vapors just off of Court Street in Adel. 

Nemechek says the fire department put water on the garbage pile and then had it spread out before it was loaded and hauled away. There were no injuries reported from the incident.

The Adel Police Department, Dallas County Sheriff’s Office and Adel Public Works also responded.
