GRASS, BRUSH IGNITE SOUTH OF CHEHALIS
• Firefighters from two departments were dispatched just after 4 p.m. yesterday to a fire in a grass field that was moving toward a wooded area south of Chehalis. Crews arriving to the 100 block of Sanderson Road just east of Jackson Highway found a working brush fire threatening one structure, according to Lewis County Fire District 6. It was contained within about 15 minutes, according to District 6 spokesperson DJ Hammer. “They had a pretty good knockdown, so DNR just basically helped with the mop up,” Hammer said. Less than one acre was burned, according to Hammer.
