Equipment Causes Burson Fire

Burson, CA -- Dry weather means dry vegetation and for one property owner those circumstances combined with the use of equipment led to a fire on Thursday.

CAL FIRE is reporting that the use of an International harvester with a modified muffler coupled with bunched up grass led to a two-acre fire.

Fire crews received the call at around 2 p.m., Thursday.

The fire was put out in a little over an hour. Damage is estimated at $400.
