The fire was stopped at 2 acres. A gardener said it started when he was using a weed eater to cut the grass from around a house. Now that it is getting hotter please use caution when working outside. It is best to use power equipment in the early mornings when the temp is low and the humidity is up.&nbsp; Don't let this be an excuse not to clear the grass and weeds from around your home.</p> <p>If you have any questions about clearing a defensible space around your home please call your local fire station.</p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/robertcarter/28442/#c_257410 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/robertcarter/28442/#c_257410 <p>There was a small grass fire on the North side of Stallion Springs yesterday.&nbsp; We flew over Bear Valley to get to the fire.
