VIDEO: Grant County has had 50 brush, grass and wildland fires in the first week of its annual burn ban. That averages out to more than six fires a day, according to a Facebook post from the Grant County Fire Marshal’s Office. The post highlighted one fire near Road C and 11 NE that officials said started while a person was grinding metal. Officials said the person put out an earlier fire, kept grinding and then sparked another fire that spread fast.

The Fire Marshal’s Office said the person received a citation for second-degree reckless burning. The gross misdemeanor can bring up to one year in jail or a $5,000 fine. Fire officials also had a clear message for the community. “Please just stop. It’s really dry and our firefighters are tired,” the Grant County Fire Marshal’s Office said. The Fire Marshal’s Office said the burn ban citation counter stood at eight.
