The Drumheller and Munson Fire Departments are on the scene of a grassfire approximately 1 kilometre north of the Verdant Valley Road near Highway 849.
The departments were on scene shortly after 3 p.m., to battle the blaze. They were assisted by a nearby Hutterite colony and neighbours who supplied manpower, water trucks, and machinery to contain the fire, which appears to be under control.
It does not appear that any structures were damaged in the blaze.
