Grass Fire Gets Out Of Hand

The fire department has been kept busy with the annual rite of spring and that is extinguishing a large number of grass fires.

One of them last night along Cranston Avenue spread to pine trees that were close by with the flames shooting 20 to 25 feet into the air. Nearby hydro wires caught fire.

It's not believed anyone lost power but traffic was disrupted.

Energy crews are expected to be out this morning to survey what damage was caused.
