Fire quickly quenched by SVFD - by Keith Cousins

Members of the Superior Volunteer Fire Department were paged to the scene of a fire on Diamond Match Road Friday afternoon. According to eye-witnesses, the fire started after a slash fire ignited the dripping sap on a larger tree. The sap created a large amount of smoke and a call was made to the SVFD. Upon arrival the fire itself had been quenched by residents and the department used their hoses to douse the area and ensure it wouldn't catch again.
