(KNOX) – The Emerado Volunteer Fire Department says it put out a nearly two acre vehicle and grass fire on Monday.
Firefighters were called at 10:30am to the 1700 block of 22nd Street Northeast. The vehicle was completely on fire and was surrounded by both cattails and tall grass.
With it being dry and windy, the fire spread throughout the grassland fast and covered almost two acres before it was put out. The vehicle is considered to be a total loss.
An investigation found that there were hot components in the vehicle that caused the fire. The fire was put out before it had the chance to spread to nearby homes.
One firefighter reportedly suffered non life threatening injuries and was taken to Altru Hospital as a precaution.
