A backyard burn in Brush Prairie got out of control and burned about a half-acre of brush and a few trees Wednesday afternoon, and briefly threatened a home.
Firefighters were called to a fire near 9808 N.E. 148th St. at around 3:45 p.m.
Clark County Fire District 3 Chief Steve Wrightson said a resident’s backyard fire burned into some grass, blackberry bushes and other brush. The fire also torched a handful of trees, some fairly tall, Wrightson said.
“Had we some wind, we could have had a more serious problem,” he said.
