Keep Those Butts in the Vehicle
On my way back from Northfield this morning I came upon a grass fire about a mile south of the Rice County Landfill.
Smoke was rolling across Highway 3 slowing traffic in each direction. Most of the fire appeared to be under control by the time I arrived but firefighters were still working with some orange flames in the west ditch.
An all-terrain grass fire vehicle was heading to the location.
You can see in the picture a significant portion of the ditch was charred.
A reminder for everyone to keep their cigarette butts in the vehicle not only today but every day.
It has not been confirmed that's what caused this grass fire but it is more than likely the cause.
Windy conditions along with dry grass are the perfect recipe for a grass fire.
