Grass Fire

Saturday, June 23, 2012 at 22:26

Newton Fire responded to the report of a grass fire in the area of Newton Reservoir. Initial information from dispatch was that the fire was on the west side of Little Mountain and was moving up the hill rapidly. Dispatch upgraded the response to include brush units from Trenton Fire based on the initial information.

While en-route it was learned that the fire was on the west side of Newton Reservoir in the campground area, not on the mountain itself, and that the fire had been extinguished by the persons camping in that area.

Fire units arrived on scene and met with the occupant of a campground where the campfire had ignited nearby dry grass and had spread towards his camp trailer and towards another campsite. There were a few  hotspots remaining and when mop-up of the burned area was complete all fire units cleared.

Persons using the recreation areas of Newton Reservoir are reminded of the recent fire restrictions that apply to unincorporated Cache County, where open fires are not permitted unless in an improved campground. The camping areas around Newton Reservoir are not improved campgrounds and are not approved for open fires.
