CANYON COUNTY - Crews are mopping up after a grass fire that burned an estimated ten to 15 acres Saturday afternoon in the Sand Hollow area.
The fire started at about 3:45 p.m. Saturday in the area of Oasis and Labor Camp roads.
The Sand Hollow Rural Fire Department responded first, followed by crews from Caldwell, Middleton and Parma.
Caldwell Fire Dept. Battalion Chief Tim Scott says the fire started with a controlled burn, and grew as the wind picked up, carrying embers onto the grass and fanning the flames.
"Never leave a fire unattended," Scott said. "Make sure that you don't have anything in the area of the fire that you're doing that it could spread to. And be very careful."
Two pickup trucks, a boat, and three outbuildings were lost in the fire. No injuries have been reported.
