<p>At approximately 12:30 on Friday afternoon Kootenai County Fire & Rescue responded to a report grass fire in the area of Idaho Street and Poleline Avenue in Post Falls. The fire was started while the field was being cut by a swather that most likely struck a rock and a spark ignited the grass, says Fire Chief Warren A. Merritt. The fire burned roughly four acres and took around an hour to completely extinguish.</p>
