In the fire service we are called to a multitude of different emergencies. When teaching I often say, “you never know what you will find so plan for anything!” One of the things we occasionally respond to is the unintentional release of materials.

Beresford firefighters extinguish a grass fire at the mm 55 on I-29. It may look green around the area but it is still very dry. Until we receive suitable rain the fire danger in our area remains high. This fire most likely started from a discarded lit cigarette. Submitted by Chief Tarz Mullinix.
