Audubon Residents Asked to Conserve Water After Fire

Residents in a small town in Iowa are being asked to conserve water today after a large fire that damaged at least four buildings. 

Authorities say the fire started at Jerry's Joint Bar in Exira, Iowa around 2:30 Friday morning.

More than twenty neighboring fire departments, including crews from Audubon, Elk Horn, and Kimballton, were called in to assist.  

Many of the crews brought in water tanker trucks from nearby towns because there was not enough available water. 

Audubon city officials are asking that the public tries to limit their water usage on Friday due to the amount of water it took to fight the blaze.  

No injuries have been reported at this time.
