Rural Metro Crews Doused Cienaga Lane Well House Fire that Spread to Grass
Rural Metro Fire Department responded to a weekend grass fire in the Fort Vannoy area that turned out to be a small structure fire.
Rural Metro crews from the Merlin Station were alerted to the incident at the end of Cienaga Lane on Saturday at 11:52 a.m..
The property owner was unaware that the fire broke out inside their well house and completely destroyed it before spreading to the surrounding grass. A passerby who noticed flames burning on the side of the road quickly called 9-1-1.
Rural Metro officials said the fire was contained to a small area and the cause of the fire that originated inside the well house was unknown. They said fire can occur at any time for a variety of reasons. As the weather gets warmer and drier, the chance of spread increases.
Officials said it is important to use caution with any activity that may spark a fire and to be prepared to take action should a fire break out.
