Douglas County Fire District 2 and Chelan County Fire District 1 responded to a grass fire in the 500 block of Lynn St. prompted by sparks emitted nearby Friday morning.

"A gentleman adjacent to the property was grinding on a metal cover that was in his grass, sparks emitted from that hence starting a grass fire," said John Glenn, assistant chief. "It got away from him when he tried to extinguish it with a hose from his personal residence."

The vacant lot is owned by someone on the west side of the mountains.

It took crews five minutes to extinguish.
