Shortly after 12:00 PM, dispatch received a report of a grass fire burning north of Newton and alerted Newton Fire to respond. Brush 50, Brush 51, Tender 50 and Tender 52 from Newton responded and received assistance from 3A220 of Cache County Fire.
The fire was burning in the dry grass between a gravel road and a corn field, as well as around an irrigation pump and irrigation canal. Because of the early notification by an alert passerby, the fire was still small in size and was quickly extinguished when fire units arrived.
The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time.
