Timber Fire East of Grant City

After a week of unseaonably cool weather, the hot weather and the fires returned. Sheridan and Grant City fire units responded to a timber fire east of Grant City, one pasture east of the Chris Spainhower pasture around 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. The fire was difficult to get to because of the rough terrain and heavy brush. There were around three to four small brush fires burning. The Worth County Sheriff's Department directed traffic on 46 during the fire. The fire was under control by 6 p.m., but it continued to smolder. The cause of the fire was unknown.
