Oliver Fire Department says the two and half acre grass fire was caused by embers from a nearby burn pile that spread into an oxbow.

“The fire did spread into some treed area and some trees did have to be taken down,” said OFD representative Rob Graham.

Wind fuelled the fire for a while, but crews kept a guard up around the flames and kept it from spreading further.
