Crews Soak Small Fire at Downtown Intersection

A couple of downtown fire crews were dispatched to W. Washington Ave. Wednesday afternoon for fires in the gutters. Engine 4 and Ladder 1 found a small pile of leaves burning at the curb near N. Bedford St. and W. Washington. They used a water can to extinguish and soak the area. Firefighters believe discarded cigarette butts are most likely the cause of the fire.
