Both the Grantsville and Arnoldsburg Fire Departments responded to the
pesky blaze
which crossed over a hilltop behind the Harris house. It was brought
under control,
although wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour were fanning the
embers.
Upper West Fork VFD was sent one mile up Oka Road at 6:45 p.m. Sunday.
A grass fire was quickly extinguished.
The Spencer-Roane VFD in Spencer fought an equally troublesome grass
