Seems the warm weather is already bringing in some parched grass in the Okanagan. Vernon Fire Captain Kim Bolton says on Saturday afternoon, crews had to spend about a half hour dousing a grass fire behind the PV Arena. He tells us the fire was minor in nature, and measured about 100 x 100 feet in size, and it appears a carelessly dropped cigarette was the cause. Bolton says the surface was quite dry: "Just because the snow only went three or four days ago, doesn't mean you can't start a grass fire." Bolton advises everyone to start being aware of dry patches of grass in the region.
