A trailer is destroyed after a controlled burn spread too quickly due to winds in Grant County . According to Grant County Fire District 13, when firefighters arrived on scene they found a demolished camp trailer and a half acre wildfire. The fire also threatened a home but was not damaged. "We can’t overstate how quickly fire will spread in the wind and spread easily to our vegetation and surrounding structures/vehicles. We ask you consider burning on another day if it’s windy," Grant County Fire District 13 wrote on Facebook. According to Grant County Fire District 13, a burn ban starts on June 1.
