GRANT COUNTY, Wash. — A wildfire broke out in the 1300 block of SR-28 in Grant County Saturday at roughly 1:30 a.m., according to Grant County Fire District (GCFD) on their Facebook page.
GCFD says they got multiple calls around 1:23 a.m., and when they arrived on the scene, the fire was burning on both sides of the highway just west of the Desert Villa mobile home park.
Firefighters say the high winds caused the fire to spread in different directions, but they were able to get control of the fire 10 minutes after arriving on the scene.
GCFD says they used seven fire trucks to put the fire out around 4 a.m.
Firefighters say the fire burned 10 acres on the south side of the highway and 1/4 acre on the north side.
Firefighters say they think the start of the wildfire was due to fireworks.
GCFD wants to remind everyone that setting off fireworks can cause serious damage and to always be safe when using legal fireworks.
