Someone caused a grass fire at the ball fields south of Sunset Park Wednesday night and Salina Police want to know who it was.

According to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester, emergency responders were dispatched to 1500 Coronado Street at 10 p.m. Wednesday where they found a fire in the grassy area of the ball fields. Approximately 300 square feet of grass burned before the blaze was extinguished by the Salina Fire Department, Forrester said.

Witnesses reported hearing what they believed to be fireworks and then noticed the fire, he said. Officers did find evidence that corroborated that report, Forrester added.
