Yakima County fire investigators are blaming sparks from a welding job for a diesel tank fire near Granger Thursday morning. It happened at Yakima Valley Highway and Nelson Road. Investigators say while the welder was working, sparks ignited the fuel in the nearby tank. It took firefighters about an hour to put out the fire because some logs also caught fire. There were no injuries and firefighters were able to keep the flames away from nearby houses.
