STOUGHTON - A grass fire broke out in the town of Stoughton on July 26 at around 4:30 p.m.

Workers from the railway were moving train cars when the fire broke out. Sparks from the track ignited the grass in between the tracks, and a railway tie had already started to burn.

The Stoughton-Tecumseh Fire Department quickly extinguished the fire. SaskPower also helped out with a fire extinguisher which put out the flames further west of the tracks.

The fire department remained at the scene to ensure there were no hotspots.
