Animals, staff moved from Gifford Farm
BELLEVUE, Neb. —Firefighters from Bellevue and Omaha responded to a strong blaze Saturday evening.
The brush fire broke out during the early evening, between the Missouri River levee and nearby railroad tracks, according to first responders on scene. The unique position made it impossible for crews to use their normal equipment, so first responders were walking and using all terrain vehicles to transport five gallon buckets of water, one official told a KETV NewsWatch 7 photographer.

Firefighters evacuated the nearby Gifford Farm, an educational complex that houses dozens of animals.
