IV Firefighters Battled Small Grass Fire from Escaped Debris Burn near Selma

The Illinois Valley Fire District battled a small grass fire near Selma yesterday that was the result of an escaped debris burn.

On Wednesday at 1:22 p.m., IVFD crews responded to an uncontrolled burn in the 1900-block of Draper Valley Road.

IVFD officials said the fire was contained and mopped-up at an estimated 1/4-acre.

Firefighters warned the responsible party for burning debris on a "No Burn" day and for doing so without a required IVFD permit.
