[ARCHIVED] WFR Responds to Interstate Grass Fire

Brush 3

Just after 2:00 on Friday, June 20th, multiple units from Watertown Fire Rescue responded to I-29 for a report of a large grass fire.  Brush 2, Brush 3, and Tender 1 all responded to the scene where three separate fires were found within about a half mile of each other between mile markers 187 and 188.  The two Brush trucks were able to contain and extinguish the fire, but required multiple refills from WFR's Tender truck that was on scene to supply water.  The units were on scene for about an hour and a half.  WFR was assisted by the Codington County Sherriff's Department and the South Dakota Highway Patrol.
