The Dauphin Fire Department was dispatched to a field fire yesterday afternoon near Sifton.

The DFD joined the Sifton Fire Department to battle the fire at around 4:15 p.m. in the community pastures.

The fire started from embers that blew in from scrub piles that had been burned several weeks earlier. High winds rekindled the fire and carried flames over to a nearby pasture.

Fire crews say that the original fires were lit during different weather conditions when fire bans were not issued.

The DFD would like to thank Bob Denchuck for assisting on-site with a water tanker.
