MONROE — Crews prevented a grass fire from spreading to an Elm Street home on Saturday.
Firefighters extinguished the “rapidly growing flames” a couple feet before the home, according to the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department No. 1’s Facebook page.
No one was injured, the department said.
The fire was about 120 feet by 60 feet, according to the fire marshal’s Facebook page.
The fire marshal reminded residents burning is only allowed with a permit and on certain days. Residents should also have a hose and keep their eyes on the flames. Residents should use a pit or clear leaves, grass and twigs from the area, the fire marshal said.
