Grassfire quickly extinguished, likely manmade

grass fire behind extra foods

Drumheller firefighters responded to a grassfire in the hills directly behind Extra Foods on Monday afternoon and officials say it was likely caused by humans.

 

Responders quickly put out the small fire around noon on August 15 and fire chief Bruce Wade says there is little reasonable natural explanation to its cause.

 

“It could have been a careless cigarette or mischief,” he said.
