FULTON, Wis. — A brush fire at the North Rock Solar Project burned approximately 10 acres of grass Monday afternoon, Lakeside Fire and Rescue said.
Firefighters were dispatched at around 12:32 p.m. and found an active grass fire burning beneath the solar panels upon arrival. They initiated efforts to contain the fire and prevent further spread.
Mutual aid was requested due to the windy conditions and location, bringing units from Evansville fire and Footville fire to assist with extinguishment operations and brush trucks.
The fire was brought under control, and crews remained on scene to complete overhaul and ensure all hot spots were extinguished.
Officials said no injuries were reported. Crews were on scene for roughly two hours.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
