Approximately five acres of land was involved in the fire, located about two miles east of the city. Two pumpers, a half-ton grass fire unit and a water tanker were used to bring the fire under control.
Also on the scene were WPD Ambulance, the RCMP and North Battleford Special Constables, who blocked the road to traffic while firefighters were fighting the blaze. No injuries were reported.
