LONGVIEW — Crews have contained a Monday afternoon grass fire off Loop 281 on Toler Road. KETK reports a total of 11 acres burned. No one was injured, and the cause of the fire is unknown at this time. Traffic was blocked for a time from Jahan to Loop 281 on Toler Road. One concern voiced by Fire Marshal Johnny Zackary: the presence of onlookers. Zackary says people need to stay back, let firefighters do their jobs, and not risk their lives unnecessarily, because at the speed the fires travel, you can’t outrun them.
