Once fire command assessed the situation, a second-alarm was called in for additional resources. The second-alarm request was later cancelled as the fire was brought under control.
Firefighters were able to catch it at one acre in size.
The cause of this fire is under investigation. As the
weather warms up, ODF say to be aware of the potential for fires to start and spread.
