a grove of trees. Several trees were destroyed by the fire and had been burnt. Fortunately, the winds were fairly calm during the fire call, or the situation may have been worst. No property buildings were affected by the fire, and there were no injuries. Firefighters were on the scene for a little more than an hour.
