Fire burns 200 acres of rangeland north of Preston
About 200 acres of range land burned Friday evening in the area north of Preston near the Riverdale area.

Fire crews from the Preston department, forest service, and tractors cut breaks to save fields including Elliot Smyth’s, as winds shifted and animals fled the area. Firefighters worked from 4:39 to 8:30 pm with deer and other wildlife disturbed by the blaze.
