Yet another grass fire popped up near Herbert yesterday.
The Herbert Fire Department got the call for the blaze at 4:20 p.m. and arrived to find a small grassfire had ignited around the base of a power pole.
Brad Cornelson, fire chief for the Herbert Fire Department, and his team have now responded to three grass fires in the last week.
"It's been a busy for the last little while, definitely," said Cornelson.
Cornelson informed SaskPower of the issue and has left the investigation into the power pole in their hands. He stated that the power pole had no damage from the fire.
The Herbert firefighters were able to put out the fire, with no major damage to any crops.
The Fire Chief reminds farmers that conditions are ripe for grass fires. The dry grass bed is very susceptible to any sparks, with producers advised to carry fire extinguishers on their equipment so they can respond to any flare-ups appropriately.
