Two sheds caught fire after a trash burn got out of hand in northwestern Saline County near Glendale Friday evening.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that Timothy Lecklider, 57, was burning trash in a barrel at 10798 West Watkins Road when burning trash escaped the barrel and caught a nearby shed on fire. Deputies and firefighters from Rural Fire District 3 were dispatched to the blaze at approximately 7 p.m.

The fire destroyed the shed and spread to a second shed, Soldan said.

Total loss was estimated at $20,000, he said.
