FARGO - Warm, dry conditions across North Dakota and Minnesota resulted in several grass fires in the area.
Fire crews battled a blaze near Tower City, N.D., on Monday night that crept toward a farmstead. The blaze was in an area about four miles north of the city near County Road 1.
A grass fire threatened a house Monday morning south of Moorhead. The fire was reported at about 9 a.m. at 8088 Highway 75 S. Firefighters extinguished the grass fire in the yard before it reached the house.
Several grass fires in Clay County made for a busy Sunday afternoon for the Hawley and Barnesville fire departments.
Both departments battled and extinguished a grass fire near Highway 34 east of Barnesville, as well as a separate fire south of Barnesville near the Wilkin County line on Highway 9, according to Sgt. Brian Norberg.
