PRETTY PRAIRIE— Fire crews battled four separate grass fires Tuesday morning in Reno County.

The Reno County Sheriffs Office said the cause of the fires is suspicious.

The first fire was reported just after 6:30 a.m. according to Reno County Dispatch.

Within minutes two other fires were reported. All were located between Pretty Prairie and Arlington.

A fourth fire was reported about 30 minutes after the first one. All were brought under control and no reports of damage or injury have been received.

Last week rural fire crews in the area had to deal with 14 separate grass fires that stretched for nearly 20 miles through the southern portion of Reno county.

No arrests have been made.
