Crews battle small fire

CLOVIS — Clovis crews battled a small grassfire Wednesday evening that was complicated by its time and place.

There were no reports of structures damaged or people injured as the grassfire knocked out about five acres near the intersection of Brady Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard, according to Capt. Alan Silvers of Clovis Fire Department.

But the timing of the fire, just after 5 p.m., made traffic difficult for anybody trying to use the Hull Street Overpass or MLK south of the railroad crossing.
