Watertown Fire Rescue puts out 3 grass fires Friday
Just after 2 p.m. Friday, June 20th, multiple units from Watertown Fire Rescue went to Interstate 29 because of a report of a large grass fire.
The WFR brought Brush 2, Brush 3 and Tender 1 to the scene where three separate fires were found within about a half mile of each other between mile markers 187 and 188, according to the release. The two Brush trucks were able to contain and extinguish the fire, but required multiple refills from WFR's Tender truck that was on scene to supply water, the report said.
The units were on scene for about an hour and a half. WFR was assisted by the Codington County Sherriff's Department and the South Dakota Highway Patrol.
