He says when they arrived there was dried grass in the area on fire near the woods. The small blaze was knocked down quickly without incident.
Residents in the area say two ATV’s had passed through the area just minutes before and the fire could’ve been much worse if they didn’t catch it when they did.
Captain Horvath reminds people that it is the time of year in which brush fires are more prominent.
There were no injuries.
