Grass fire burns along the i-80 east of Lincoln

Lincoln, Neb. (Klkn) – On Monday afternoon, a grass fire broke out on the Interstate 80 east of Lincoln.

It happened around 3 p.m. in the median near the Autobahn 6 outside of Wabling.

Photos taken from the Nebraska Department of Transportation camera show that smoke rises from a blackened strip of soil.

A large part of Nebraska, including Lancaster County, is under a red flag warning.

The combination of strong winds, low humidity and warm temperatures makes it easier to spread fires.
