Upon arrival, units discovered a small fire on the exterior of the residence which was quickly extinguished with no injuries. A discarded cigarette is believed to be the cause of this fire.
Currently the City of Belton is in a burn ban due to high winds and a lack of moisture causing a extreme drought in our area.
Today's winds create an extreme hazard for any heat producing devices to include discarded cigarettes. Please use caution during this time while disposing of heat producing devices.
