The Green Valley Fire District quickly extinguished a small brush fire in southern Sahuarita on Saturday afternoon.
A single engine responded to Camino de las Quintas and Quiet Meadows around 2:15 p.m. to put out the fire, which burned a 30- by five-foot area. The cause of the fire is unknown.
The fire district is reminding residents to be cautious as winter rains and early spring heat have created a lot of dry weeds, grasses and brush in the area.
