Firefighters stopped a 1.5-acre grass fire along East Evans Creek Road Monday afternoon by surrounding the flames with hose and using helicopters to drop water amid critical fire weather conditions; they remain on scene to mop up residual heat.

The department urged residents to report any potential fire starts promptly.
