Rain Puts Out Grass Fire
We had big thunderstorms last night and along with that, lots of lightening. About 6:30 PM, we were paged to a grass fire that was sparked by the lightening. The fire was 14 miles out of town, near Lake Louise State Park. By the time we got there, rain from the thunderstorms had put the fire out. We didn't pump a drop of water.
This was a pretty typical fire for us. Mostly we have grass fires; however, this is the first one I've responded to that was totally extinguished by the rain. Fourteen miles is a fair piece, but it isn't the farthest we have to go.
