There was a fire Sunday night, on Main St., between Green Valley and Holm Rds. North bound Main St. was shut down. Looked like a grass fire that caught a 40' pine tree on fire also. 

The blaze was reported about 5:50 p.m. No structures were involved and no injuries were reported. Fire crews were at the scene for nearly three hours.
