Description: An early morning reminder about just how dry it's been, and how ripe conditions are for brush fires. This happened just before 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, at Highway 169 and Highway 101 in Shakopee. You can see sparks fly out from under a white box truck, cross the road and grow into a grass fire. We sped this video up a bit, but it took just a few minutes in real time to grow into a fire.
