GRASS FIRE ON MOWRY AT OVERACKER

Police officers are on scene and the FD is on the way with a full vegetation response.  Access is on Overacker by the train tracks.  The RR is being shut down.  Those tall dry weeds should have been cut down last week.  Seems like this happens every year.  History repeats.  Next week UPRR will be out clearing all along Overacker...a week too late.  Mowry and Overacker being shut down.  Half acre with no structures threatened per crew on scene.
Update- from radio chatter this seems like it started inside a homeless encampment located in the area between Overacker and Mowry along the tracks.  FPD is actively looking for an arson suspect.  Apparently they have a description of a suspect.  A drone is en route to assist or perhaps just to take videos of the fire area.
