On the 4th of April at approximately 1:54 pm, Jim Kusek called Meagher County 9-1-1 dispatch. The fire location was on 89 South just before Hwy 294 in a field.

The fire was put out on the hay wagon but the hay bales were unable to be extinguished so they were rolled out and allowed to burn out under control. The ground fuels in the area of the hay wagon were burning, but because of the higher humitites were easily put out.
Late on the same date at approximately 9:03 pm Wheatland County called Meagher County 9-1-1 dispatch and advised of a vehicle accident, a rollover on US 12, somewhere between Checkerboard and Harlowton.
