Jackson firefighters battled a fast spreading grass fire at the 40 Bar ranch on Friday afternoon. High winds fed the blaze burning a hay stack and several acres of grassland and fencing. Dry meadow conditions hindered suppression, but crews worked long and hard to prevent wider damage to nearby ranches.
Fire crews returned to Jackson around seven then were called again later that night and remained on scene until midnight. The blaze's cause is undetermined, but investigators suspect a careless smoker may be responsible.
