High Point Fire District responded to a reported grass fire on Rupert Courtney Lane.

Engines 11 and 31 arrived on scene and found a wind-driven grass fire threatening a residence. Both engines deployed their deck guns to protect the endangered home while Brush 23 worked to stop the fire as it advanced toward a neighboring property.

The fire was determined to have started when wind carried embers from a burn barrel across a dry lawn, igniting the grass.
