A man was arrested for reckless burning over the weekend in Kennewick. It's that time of year around the Tri-Cities where a simple spark could start a fire that could cause massive damage. The expected winds over the next few days for sure wouldn't help things either. It's dry and hot and it's always a bad mixture especially during fire season here in the Columbia Basin so someone recklessly starting a fire is a pretty serious offense. Luckily the fire was put out and nobody or buildings were damaged. We are expecting high winds over the next few days so this brush fire is a reminder that it's very easy for a fire to get out of control this time of year. I'm glad the witness on the scene was able to help the KPD track down the suspect and detain them.
