When asked if the fire was near the location of last year's fire that affected the area, Tyler Rowser with the North Summit Fire Department responded, "Too close for comfort."
Officials believe the brush fire was started by a truck when the driver pulled over because it was overheating. The truck started burning the dry grass.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.
