Anarchist Mountain Fire Department (AMFD) is on scene and quick efforts of fire crews have stopped the spread of a grassfire that broke out Thursday morning.

“Just a small fire,” said AMFD Chief Urs Grob.  “The source is still unknown and there will be an investigation, but everything is under control.”

The fire is not out, but is no longer spreading.

“We have the whole crew there, so it’s not a problem,” Grob said.

Unconfirmed reports say the fire had something to do with a Fortis BC transformer.
