Grass fire near Melbourne

Volunteer fire departments from Melbourne and State Center were dispatched Thursday to the David Andrews farm on Jessup Avenue on report of a grass fire. Andrews said he was burning grass in a ditch when the “fire got out of hand. I have done this for many years, but this one got away from me,” he said. “I called it in as soon as possible.” Andrews said crews put out the fire out quickly.
