WORDEN - Strong winds push a small grass fire dangerously close to a house near Worden on Friday.

Worden Firefighters say the blaze burned around an acre but heavy wind gusts caused it to move quickly. The fire came within 20 yards of a house. Crews were able to knock the flames down before it was a real threat to the closest structure.

Officials are not sure what caused the fire to ignite but say it's not rare to see small grass fires in November when the temperatures are warm.
