KAWARTHA LAKES-Firefighters and paramedics were called to a home on Tracey’s Hill Road in Emily Township this afternoon for reports of a grass fire.

Witnesses say residents appear to have been burning plastic in the backyard.

Paramedics treated one man for minor burns but did not transport him to the hospital. Crews had the grass fire under control within minutes and requested city bylaw officers be notified. It’s unclear exactly why bylaw was notified.
