The Quesnel Fire Department was on the scene of a grass fire Easter Sunday afternoon on Quesnel-Hydraulic Road.
Fire Chief Ron Richert said they were called out around 3.
“Upon arrival, we had with the high winds a substantial amount of area that was burning and went into the treeline. We responded with approximately five apparatus, and fifteen firefighters and were on scene for approximately an hour and a half.”
Richert said the cause of the fire was due to someone burning grass and the high winds.
