Grass Fire E. 45th St. N.

Date of Incident: 
Sunday, January 1, 2012 - 12:45am

Squad 37 arrived on the scene of a large, open field with two lines of fire. Wind was gusting to 39 mph out of the North. As the squad pulled up to the fire, a large, flowering style firework exploded next to the squad. Squad 37 drove through the field to the south tip of the fire and made quick work of putting out the east line. The squad then proceeded to the west line of fire and extinguished it as well.
