Grass Fire
Sunday, July 19 at 11:01 AM:
Station 50, Station 10 and County fire units responded to a grass fire in the west campground area at Newton Reservoir.
The fire was burning in dry grass and last year's leaf litter, spotting over a wide area likely due to cottonwood seed fluff blown by the wind.
Arriving units focused on the northern edge of the fire, which was burning towards a grain field. Luckily the wind was favorable allowing crews to knock down the fire with minimal extension to the grain field.
The fire has been declared out and all units have left the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Picture: Brush 11's crew (Clarkston) mopping up the northern edge of the fire next to the grain field.
