The death of Obama Brick
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Omaha firefighters were called to what started a grass fire Monday afternoon, quickly faced with a wind-blown blaze that jumped from an open field into a neighboring mulch yard.

Billowing smoke could be seen from downtown Omaha and across the Missouri River, and fire crews continue to work on keeping smoldering piles of burning mulch in check.

A little after 1:00 p.m. Monday Maggie Hansen, downtown yard manager at Soil Dynamics at Avenue G and Abbot Drive, was with a customer in the yard at the mulch facility.

“He said ‘you smell that’ and I said, yeah, we kind of looked over and said, oh, that’s weird, and didn’t really think much of it because it was quite small and out of the way,” Hansen said. “Then we both realized the wind was out of the south and oh (no)!”

It’s deep-seated enough now, and the wind’s making it ten thousand times worse.”

That was his assessment around 3:30 p.m. as the wind continued to fan the burning piles, creating dangerous smoke conditions as well. Help came from nearby Eppley Field, just to the north, and Carter Lake, as the combined units attacked the perimeter areas of the fire and worked to reduce fuel along the open field where it first sparked.

From there, flattening and soaking the burning piles of mulch required a rotation of crews, trucks, and engines through the day and continues into the night. While it is difficult to see flames in the piles, heavy smoke remains visible. Carmichael said the burning piles still pose a risk to neighboring businesses.

”There are still, down this way further to the east, there are the piles we haven’t been able to hit with the front end loader, and we just have rigs going through that rotating through that hitting it, that is still a concern with the winds blowing, we could have one of those piles go up.”
