Spokane County Fire District 8 and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources are battling a brush fire near Freeman Tuesday afternoon.
According to SCFD8, the fire is near South Elder Road and under control.
Spokane County Fire District 8 tells KHQ that fires at this time of the year are weather dependent.
“As the finer dry grasses dry out, they will burn. Mostly, this time of year the fire activity remains low both in call volume and on the grounds itself,” SCFD8 said.
