Grand Traverse County Firefighters Battle Small Grass Fire

Firefighters in Grand Traverse County also battled a grass fire.

It started Saturday afternoon near Wyatt Road and Silver Lake Road.

When crews got there they found 1 and a half acres on fire and spreading uphill.

They were able to get it under control before it got to the woods.

They say the fire started after someone was burning leaves and lost control of the fire.

“We just like to remind everybody that even though the weather’s beautiful and you want to get outside, please don’t burn when they’re outside moving around this time of year. Be aware that in spite of it being right after snow melt that is very dry,” said Lt. Kyle Clute.

Firefighters say it’s important to check to see if burning permits are being issued.
