TYLER – Four separate wildfires kept Smith County firemen busy Tuesday. The largest was a 20 acre blaze off County Road 3186 near Winona. That fire started from a rekindled controlled fire. On Monday, the landowner had burned some brush and the fire extinguished. It smoldered and Tuesday’s winds caused it to reignite. It took firefighters several hours to extinguish the blaze. No injuries were reported.
