This afternoon at approximately 1338 Lebanon Fire District was dispatched to a tree fire. A large plum of smoke was visible enroute and BC-31 immediately called for a first alarm. On arrival there was an approximately 1-acre area of grass that had been burnt with several trees on fire. The home owners had advised command that they were mowing grass when a spark from their lawn mower had ignited their field moving into the trees. 9 units from the Lebanon Fire District responded to the fire with 16 firefighters. Tangent assisted by bringing a water tender.
Just a reminder, use caution when mowing. Fuels are still dry and we aren’t out of the fire season yet.
