Westside Grass Fire
On my way home today I saw a grass fire on the corner of Elliott and Smid. If I had to speculate I would guess that it was started by a hot exhaust from the truck that was there. There was one guy there when I went by trying to stop it. I really wanted to stop and help but had my own emergency to attend to. The fire department arrived shortly after I drove by.

I wonder if a discarded glass bottle could light a fire in these conditions?
Mythbusters!!

Its my understanding that someone was using a grinder in the middle of the field, and that resulting sparks caused the fire. Good to see such quick response.

Not the first time this has happened there. Careless causes for both of them.
