On Thursday night, Grant City and Sheridan fire units were dispatched to Oxford to put out a grass fire there at around 6:03 p.m. The fire was controlled by 6:20 and all units were back in service by 6:36. That fire made them late to the storm spotter training held in Sheridan that evening.
At 8:01 p.m. Friday, the Worth County Fire Department was dispatched to a wildland fire south of Grant City. Backburns were lit to protect exposures and regain control of the fireline. All units were back in service at 8:52 p.m.
The Grant City and Sheridan Fire Departments request that all people
planning to burn CRP ground or planning a controlled burn to notify the local fire department to
prevent unnecessary dispatches.
