A grass fire scorched a field south of Alliance Airport in Haslet Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Flames burned along Westport Parkway, near Intermodal Parkway and Interstate 35W. Firefighters shut down some lanes of traffic as they worked to contain the fire.<\/p>\n
Video from Texas Sky Ranger showed trucks pumping water onto hot spots that were still smoldering.<\/p>\n
Fort Worth Fire Department crews also responded to assist Haslet firefighters. The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office told NBC 5 that deputies were also on scene.<\/p>\n
The Sheriff’s Office told NBC 5 the fire was mostly out just before 4:30 p.m., and crews were remaining on scene to prevent flare-ups. At this point, it is not clear what sparked the fire.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service says that with heat indices consistently in the 103-109 range and minimal precipitation expected, the current stretch of hot and dry weather may increase grass fire activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A grass fire scorched a field south of Alliance Airport in Haslet Thursday afternoon.
