INDIANOLA, Iowa - Indianola fire officials say a blaze has destroyed about $40,000 worth of hot air balloon equipment in central Iowa.
Authorities say no one was hurt in the Sunday morning fire. Fire officials say the blaze started in a propane-refueling trailer. The trailer, balloon and basket were destroyed. Fire officials say they don't know how the fire started, but they are investigating.
Firefighters say the blaze shouldn't affect the National Balloon Classic in Indianola later this month.
Indianola is about 15 miles south of Des Moines in Warren County.
