Narrative

A grass fire was noticed next to train rail. An area of about 150ft by 400 ft was burned by the time the fire was extinguished. No injury to persons or to property except to the area of grass. It is thought that the fire may have been started by sparks from a train engine's exhaust. This is being reported since it took slightly over 30 minutes to extinguish.
