Wilson County emergency crews respond to a grass fire. The incident happened along Highway 47, just east of Fredonia. The call came in around 2:15pm, and county units were able to contain the fire quickly.
Officials are reminding motorists to use caution during dry conditions. Drivers are urged not to throw cigarettes from vehicle windows, and those pulling trailers should ensure that chains or other equipment are not dragging and creating sparks. With grasses now in their dormant stage, the risk of roadside and pasture fires remains high. Authorities say simple precautions can help prevent future incidents.
