4-acre grass fire doused in northeast Calgary

Calgary firefighters battled a four-acre blaze in the city’s northeast Tuesday evening.

The slow-moving grass fire occurred east of Coventry Hills in the Nose Creek Park area around 6:30 p.m., the fire department said Wednesday.

After the fire was out, crews wet the area to prevent it from starting up again.

Sunny and dry weather recently has made for tinder-dry conditions, and the overall wildfire danger for the Calgary Forest Area remains high.
