(KNSI) — Crews successfully knocked down a grass fire that started near some townhomes in Sartell

Sources at the scene are telling us the fire was near Dehler Drive and Le Sauk Avenue near Woodcrest Townhomes and Nystrom & Associates. and for a time, due to the high winds and dry brush, was quickly approaching homes and businesses. Police were called to help with evacuations and blocking traffic, but the roads have reopened.

We have not heard of any injuries or structures being damaged.

The National Weather Service says fire weather conditions are persisting across central Minnesota with gusty winds and low humidity this afternoon.
