The Newton Fire Department battled a shed fire near Emma Creek Road and West First.

Inital units responding to the fire reported that one shed was fully involved on their arrival. A nearby adjacent barn was protected by the fire crews and remained standing.

Crews worked the scene in temperatures that were below zero and had water supply issues when the valves on a water tender were frozen.
There we no injuries reported.
Hesston, Walton Halstead and Sedgwick fire crews provided mutual aid to Newton to fight the fire.
