Errant sparks from a burning trash can ignited a brush fire that spread to at least 10 vehicles and a shed near Brown's Auto Salvage, five miles southwest of town. Nearby workers used a bulldozer to push burning debris away from the Brown home, helping avert major damage as multiple fire departments battled the flames for hours.
