Saturday, August 3, Dillon Volunteer Fire Department responded to a small grass fire about one mile south of Barrett Hospital. The fire was burning in tall grass alongside the road and around a power pole.
Residents from nearby homes were already spraying the fire down and throwing dirt on it. With the help of the fire department, they were able to get the fire completely out and stop it from spreading.
Reminder Beaverhead County entered stage 2 fire restrictions on Friday. It is very dry out and requires little to start a fire. Do not throw anything hot out of your vehicle and make sure nothing is dragging that could cause a spark.
