11/3/2015 - Onondaga grass fire, 4310 Olds Rd

The Onondaga Twp Fire Department was dispatched to a swamp grass fire on Tuesday, November 3, 2015, at around 2:15 PM. Responders observed a large amount of smoke from the area so mutual aid was requested from the Leslie Fire Department for grass rigs. First arriving command reported just over an acre burning. The main body of fire had burned itself out, but several fingers of fire continued to burn in tall grass. Firefighters had to enter on foot to locate and extinguish the remaining flames. It is believed the fire was caused from blowing embers from a burning leaf pile.
