A small grass fire, burning approximately 200-feet by 30- or 40- feet, was reported near the intersection of Experiment Station Drive and Tucker Road Thursday morning, Aug. 23.

The fire was sparked when a tree fell on power lines. Approximately 1,600 customers were affected, according to Pacific Power. Most were expected to be back online within 15 minutes of the shortage; the Experiment Station complex is also without power at this time and it is expected to take a couple of hours before they are back online as well.
