VIDEO: A large brush fire covering more than 10 acres took up a lot of resources in Muskegon County over the weekend. Fire officials say the threat is not over yet.
Muskegon Township firefighters say these brush fires will continue to happen and people in the area need to be more cautious.
“I hope everybody gets to see this and understands the dangers that they're in,” fire inspector Jack Wydeck said. "I imagine by the time that this airs today, we'll have another brush fire right here in Muskegon County.”
Sunday afternoon, Muskegon Charter Township Fire Department responded to a grass fire they thought they’d be able to contain. They quickly realized the extent of the fire and called for additional assistance, including the Department of Natural Resources.
Wydeck says it took crews several hours to get the fire under control.
