Investigators think they know what may have caused yesterday’s fire near LaBarr Meadows Road and McKnight Way in Grass Valley…
CalFire Captain John Hotchkiss says the Dog Fire has been fully contained at five acres, with over 200 personnel used. Hotchkiss says the fire would have been a lot bigger, if if hadn’t been for Grass Valley Air Attack…
Ground personnel were then able to snuiff out the flames. Hotchkiss says fires being sparked from vehicles are fairly common, and it’s unlikely they’ll ever find the vehicle involved…
Hotchkiss sometimes a vehicle pulling off the pavement into dry vegetation can spark a fire. He also warns that if you are towing a trailer, don’t let the chain touch the ground. Even at slow speeds, that can cause sparks which can ignite into a large fire.
