Fire burns more than 400 acres in Camden County

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Low humidity and strong winds helped a wildfire spread to engulf 467 acres and threaten a home in Camden County on Tuesday.

The Northwest Fire Protection District wrote in a social media post that firefighters were called to the blaze on Indian Creek Road in Edwards at about 1 p.m. The fire had jumped a road and was threatening a home, according to the post.

The fire repeatedly jumped fire lines because of the high winds, but firefighters put it out without injuries or damage to structures. Firefighters from six other districts were called in to help, the post states.

Mid-Missouri experienced high winds throughout the day Tuesday ahead of a storm system that moved through the area that evening. An official National Weather Service station at the Lake Ozark airport recorded gusts in excess of 20 mph.
