Fire crews kept busy during holiday By NADA SEWIDAN sTaFF WRITeR Umatilla County Fire District #1 firefighters responded to 25 total calls for service during Fourth of July. Four out of the 25 calls were fireworks related, all of which were grass fires that caused minimal damage. Compared to last year, calls were up 12%, according to a Umatilla County Fire Dis- trict #1 Facebook post. There were no structural damages related to fireworks fires this year, compared to last year when a home caught on fire due to improp- erly disposed fireworks. The department stated that the remaining calls were mostly medical related, with one call in response to a motor vehicle accident. Fire Marshal Scott Goff said all the fires were small and residents who released fireworks appeared to be prepared with garden hoses. No serious injuries were reported. “We had four small grass fires, limited to no damage, no burn injuries or anything like that,” he said. The fire department sent out six vehicles to cover the Stanfield fireworks display, and the Hermiston fireworks display was monitored by on-duty staff. “It was a pretty quiet Fourth of July as far as I’m concerned,” Goff said. In preparation for the fireworks display on the Hermiston Butte, UCFD conducted a controlled burn on the butte to burn off grass that could catch fire during the show.
