Salem Firemen were called to two small fires on Saturday.
Firemen were called to the edge of County Farm Road north of Apple Ridge Road where there was a smoldering grass and leaf fire. Since the fire had been left unattended, there was fear it could spread if not put out. The fire was on property owned by the Gaines Farms Trust. The fire call came in at 1:45 on Saturday afternoon.
Firemen were dispatched to the Ray and April Brown mobile home in the 2100 block of Maplewood Avenue when a fire in a trash barrel that was too close to the residence was threatening to set the home on fire. The only damage was scorching to the outside wall. The fire call came in at seven on Saturday night.
