Small District 3 wildfire prompts supervisors to remind residents about fire safety
Summary
Supervisors reported a roughly 4-acre wildfire near Robinson Rio in District 3, quickly contained, and used the incident to remind residents about fire-season risks and precautions.
A supervisor reported a small wildfire of about 4 acres near Robinson Rio in District 3 and urged residents to exercise caution during fire season, noting that recent rains do not eliminate the risk of fires spreading.
The supervisor described the fire occurring "right behind Robinson Rio" and said it "was about 4 acres or so." They said the fire was initially thought to be prescribed burns but was not, and that county fire personnel put it out quickly. The supervisor recounted seeing "some of the dry grass that it singed through, but then there was still green wet grass that it still traveled through," stressing that recent rains do not guarantee that fires will not spread.
Board members used the report to remind residents to keep water sources ready, wet grass when conducting work that could create sparks and to be mindful of local fire-season rules. No action item or emergency proclamation was recorded in the transcript; the remarks were part of routine calendar reports.
