3/13/20 - Onondaga grass fire, 5800 block of Plains Rd

While Onondaga firefighters were on the scene of one outside fire, they were dispatched to another in the 5800 block of Plains Rd, just before 6 PM on Friday, March 13, 2020. Firefighters gathered a couple of crews from the first fire to respond to this one. On arrival they found wind driven flames working thru a couple of acres of grass. They quickly discovered they would not be able to access the fire with grass rigs and started to head it off on foot. Additional assistance was requested from the Leslie and Mason fire departments. Personnel were able to contain the fire to the property of origin and found no extension into the nearby structure.
