Fire season starts in Grant Co.
Smoke billows up from the roughly 400 acres that caught fire apparently as a result of a tractor catching fire in the area near Rocky Ford Creek. The blaze caused the closure of SR 17 near the intersection with SR 282 and Neppel Road Wednesday afternoon.

A fire broke out in Moses Lake shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday and Moses Lake Fire responded to get it under control. Here, the fire is seen from the overpass bridge at the intersection of Stratford Road and State Route 17.
