According to Cody Fire Chief Jordan Pitkin, the Cody Fire Department was requested to the McClaran Ranch south of Cody at about 8:30 Mountain Time Monday morning.
Gusty wind conditions were beginning to kick up some embers from a burn pit that was being used, and a grass rig was sent by the landowners request to make sure the fire didn’t get out of the containment area.
The fire was limited to the intended area, and no property was damaged or destroyed. Fire crews spent just a short time on scene before returning to the fire hall.
