Brush fire extinguished off Woodward Blvd near Beth Stacey Blvd.
The fire appears to have started and then spread in a living/camping area. No one was on scene when we arrived.
Our Fire Marshal and LCSO are investigating the incident.
Here are some tips for properly extinguishing a campfire:
Allow the wood to burn to ash if possible.
Pour lots of water on the fire. Drown ALL embers, not just red ones. Pour until the hissing sound stops.
If you don’t have enough water, stir dirt or sand into the embers with a shovel to bury the fire. Make sure no embers are exposed and still smoldering.
Continue adding water, dirt, or sand and stirring with a shovel until all material is cool.
Remember – if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave! Keep your family and your community safe by properly extinguishing outside fires.
