Local firefighters from the City of Godley Fire Department responded to a grass fire yesterday. The blaze was sparked by a hay baler, as reported by the City of Godley Fire Department via a social media post. The fire broke out in the 6600 block of Highway 4, and the teams were quick to arrive at the scene.
Due to the incident, drivers in the vicinity were urged to exercise caution.
