Posted: Updated:

The spark from a lawn mower triggers a grass fire northeast of Sapulpa.

Sapulpa's assistant fire chief tells KTUL.com that it happened near 5700 S 43rd W Avenue just west of Tulsa.

A neighbor near there was mowing the yard and the machine kicked up some sparks. The sparks smoldered and eventually started a grass fire.

The blaze spread into some trash and junk piles on vacant property. No valuable property was damaged or destroyed.

The person mowing is not expected to be cited, and investigators calling it an accident.
