On Monday at approximately 3:40 in the afternoon the Mitchell Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a small grass fire on Highway 26 just east of town. Crews determined the cause was a car driving by that had an entire wheel assembly detached from the vehicle and rolled into the drive vegetation. The assembly was extremely hot and started the road ditch on fire. Fire was quickly contained and extinguished. Mitchell Volunteer Fire Department responded with two trucks and seven personnel. Lots of events going on at this time of the year including that pancake feed in Oshkosh. That's for the Oshkosh Nebraska Volunteer Fire Department 5-7pm Saturday night at the auditorium. And don't forget to get out and vote. We support candidates that believe in transparency and accountability and we feel that Ricky Trevino for Morrill County Sheriff is a great candidate for the job. This will be the first Sheriff election in Morrill County in almost 16 years in its right around the corner. Don't forget about the rare planetary alignment on February 28th. Look up into the sky to see the planets all lined up from Earth's viewpoint. And a couple of good theater events to catch. The Christian movie "I Can Only Imagine 2" is now showing at the Nile Theatre through March 5th. And the Midwest Theatre in Scottsbluff is going to be a fun place to be on Friday night, if you're a Beatles fan. Performed by Nebraska based brothers Billy, Matthew and Ryan, this dynamic performance lets you decide the entire set list. That's a Beatles interactive experience called Yesterday and Today. Friday at the Midwest. Our calendar of events is free online and our Look Who's Hiring section as well. Catch that and our daily news at PanhandleScanner.com. Also, our cover photo comes from a story out of Omaha where a sinkhole swallowed up two vehicles on Pacific Street at 67th in Omaha Tuesday afternoon. https://www.3newsnow.com/news/local-news/breaking-sinkhole-swallows-vehicles-blocks-traffic-on-pacific-st
