A fire across SR-174 from the Lakeview Terrace trailer park was nipped in bud before it could spread through the dry terrain July 17.
The fire scorched under half an acre, burning multiple older vehicles, including an old camp trailer, tires, and garbage, according to Grand Coulee Fire Chief Ryan Fish.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire started at about 1 p.m. when fire departments of Grand Coulee, Coulee Dam, and Elmer City responded, as well as Bureau of Reclamation fire fighters and fire fighters from Lincoln County Fire Districts 8 and 7.
The fast response contained the fire within an hour, blocking highway traffic for a time, with firefighters remaining on scene until about 6 p.m., mopping up.
