Fire scorches 38 acres


A CAL FIRE AIRCRAFT DROPS RETARDANT ON A WILDFIRE OFF CONVERSE ROAD IN THE GREELEY HILL AREA LAST WEEK. THE FIRE BURNED 38 ACRES OF VEGETATION BEFORE BEING EXTINGUISHED. NO STRUCTURES WERE DAMAGED. THIS HAS BEEN A RELATIVELY QUIET FIRE YEAR, IN PART BECAUSE SPRING WAS SO COOL AND WET. MUCH OF THE VEGETATION HIGHER ELEVATION REMAINS MOIST.
