Firefighters quickly doused a brush fire along Interstate 5 near the La Center exit this morning.
Crews were called to the blaze just before 10 a.m., and arrived to find a working fire about 100 feet by 20 feet, Clark County Fire & Rescue spokesman Tim Dawdy said.
Two engines and a battalion chief from the agency responded and rapidly extinguished the blaze.
Dawdy said the fire appears to be human-caused, and that it acts as a good reminder that people remain careful.
“Fire season is still in full swing,” he said. “We were lucky on this one, firefighters were able to get to it quickly, but (fires) can still get away and cause lots of damage.”
