Around noon Thursday, Turner Valley RCMP and the M.D. of Foothills Fire Departments battled five grass fires on the west side of Highway 22, south of Longview and it’s believed they were all caused by fireworks.
It took crews about four hours to get the blazes under control.

There were no injuries and no homes, farms or livestock were in danger.
