Grass Fire Damages Homes, Collapses Communications Tower
MURRAY, Utah, April 1, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) – Several homes were put at risk after a grass fire erupted in Murray along the Jordan River in the Hunter Woods area Tuesday evening.
Fire officials suspect the fire was human caused.
Crews responded to the blaze near 5000 South and 500 West at around 6:30 p.m. Pat Killion, Deputy Fire Marshal with Murray Fire, said about 1,000 to 1,200 feet of vinyl fencing was destroyed and some windows in homes sustained smoke damage. The walking bridge in the area was also burned, and a communications tower collapsed during the fire.
Fire crews planned to stay on the scene all night long to watch for hotspots flaring up.
