The Wadena Fire Department, as well as the Margo department battled a difficult blaze on Tuesday night.

The Wadena members got the call at 10:30 from a neighbour of the property that was about eight kilometres south east of Kuroki off Highway 5.

Once crews arrived they found a house and machinery in the yard on fire.

Fire personal were able to hold the fire from spreading and a timely rain wet the grass limiting the danger of a runaway grass fire.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
