Fire crew halts blaze along RR

Colfax volunteers extinguished a brush fire along the railroad track west of the railroad overpass on Highway 26 west of Colfax. The fire had been spotted by a Washington State Trooper. Cause of the fire was undetermined. Starting point was at the crossing for the former county road east of the bridge, but a train had not used the tracks Friday. The fire was in grass and brush along the railroad bank. The fire was considered under control after 24 minutes.
