There are still pockets of snow lingering on the landscape, but North Battleford Fire Department responded to two grass fires on the weekend.
About an acre of grass burned on the west side of the Gamex Bingo building Saturday. NBFD responded to the call at about 12:45 a.m. The cause of the fire is unknown.
Firefighters were called out again at 3:15 p.m. Saturday to extinguish a grass fire about seven kilometers north along Highway 4 in the east ditch.
NBFD spent about 25 minutes at the scene, and according to a press release discarded cigarettes may have touched off the blaze.
Some over enthusiastic cooking drew firefighters to a home at 1709 Gregory Dr. at just before 6 p.m. Saturday. NBFD reports a fire alarm had been set off by cooking activities.
