MORE GRASS FIRES

PART OF LE MARS WAS WITHOUT POWER FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS THIS AFTERNOON.

OUR SISTER STATION KLEM REPORTS THAT A POWER LINE CAME DOWN ON 7TH AVENUE SOUTHEAST, KNOCKING OUT POWER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IGNITING A GRASS FIRE.

UTILITY CREWS AND FIREFIGHTERS RESPONDED TO THAT INCIDENT IN THE AREA OF THE PLYMOUTH MANOR NURSING HOME.

PLYMOUTH COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS ALSO BATTLED ANOTHER GRASS FIRE IN THE REMSEN AREA THIS AFTERNOON, SPURRED ON BY DRY CONDITIONS AND WIND.
