Mexico first responders were called to assist with a natural cover fire in the 2300 block of Fairground Road on Saturday. The issue occurred around 12:25 p.m. when responding personnel found a flame moving quickly through tall, dry grass.
The fire was extinguished before damaging any other personal property, but burned about one acre of land prior to being put out. Area residents reported hearing someone shooting fireworks in the area just prior to noticing the fire. There were no injuries from the incident.
