(COUNTY FIRE WAS KEPT BUSY LAST NIGHT)…THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE WERE NOT THAT MANY FIRES AROUND THE COUNTY LAST NIGHT. . THERE WAS NOT THAT MUCH FIREWORKS ABUSE, ACCORDING TO LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS. INCIDENTS REPORTED WERE MINOR TRASH FIRES, AND THERE WERE ONLY A COUPLE OF THEM. THE MAJOR FIRE WAS A BRUSH FIRE AT THE ELMORE RANCH. IT IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY FIREWORKS, BUT THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL UNDERWAY. THAT FIRE WAS REPORTED AT 10 LAST NIGHT AND BURNED BETWEEN 30 AND 50 ACRES OF BRUSH BEFORE BEING BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL THIS MORNING AT JUST BEFORE 6. OFFICIALS SAY NO INJURYS WERE REPORTED, AND NO STRUCTURES WERE DAMAGED
