Wadena Fire Department Asking Public to Help Locate Missing Fire Hose

WADENA (KDLM) – The Wadena Fire Department is asking the public to help locate a hose that fell off their main tanker truck after fighting a barn fire, Tuesday.

The Fire Department says the hose, which is used to fill the truck from hydrants, was lost just south of Wadena on Highway 71 Tuesday afternoon. The Department says someone was seen in a blue car picking up the hose and are asking that person to contact them to arrange pickup of the hose.

Firefighters battled the barn fire until 7 p.m., Tuesday – it’s not clear what caused the fire, but it is considered a total loss.
