Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services firefighters responded to a small grass fire in Pop Price Park off Slater Road in Cranbrook on Wednesday evening.

The fire was quickly extinguished upon arrival of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services. It is suspected that the fire was likely caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette and could have resulted in significant property loss due to the conditions at the time.

Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services reminds everyone in our community that firefighting resources are being stretched right now, and weather conditions are such that any new start could potentially become a significant event.

Please enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
