Truck fire consumes about 30 acres of grass in Saline County, after an accident occurred in one of the exhaust pipes.

According to the Saline County Sheriff's Office on the morning of January 23, deputies were dispatched to southwest Saline County for the report of a grassfire that occurred from a truck.

Reportedly, a disposal truck going southbound on Burma road caught on fire and it was suspected that a piece of cardboard got stuck in one of the exhaust pipes. The fire then started and spread to a nearby grassfield.

The fire burned up about 30 acres of grass, but no monetary loss since it was only pasture ground.

The vehicle suffered minor damage after the fire.
