The Superior Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire started by a downed power line on Diamond Match Road Friday afternoon. With assistance from the Mineral County Sheriff's Office and Montana Highway Patrol, the scene was secured and the SVFD got to work digging line and soaking the area surrounding the fire to prevent it from spreading while Northwest Energy cut off power.
