Engine 50 of Newton Fire responded with other units to a grass fire on the bench east of Smithfield in the Dry Canyon area. Structure engines were included for structure protection if the fire would threaten homes near the fire.
A quick attack by the brush units was able to knock down the fire and prevent the need for structure protection. With the fire controlled and mop-up underway the structure units were released.
