Woman Who Died In Field Fire Near Marion Has Been Identified
[UPDATED April 5, 1:25 pm] The Linn County Sheriff s Office has identified the woman killed in a Sunday afternoon field fire in Linn County.

[ORIGINAL STORY] Nearly one week ago, dry winds whipped across Iowa and other states in the Midwest prompting the National Weather Service to issue what is called a Red Flag Warning. That is the highest alert when it comes to a weather pattern that is worrisome when it comes to fires. Dry conditions, low humidity, and high winds make it nearly impossible to control any outdoor fire. Burn bans usually go hand in hand with Red Flag Warnings. On Easter Sunday, there were no such warnings or burn bans for Linn County. Perhaps there should have been.
