Power line suspected in Natrona Co. fire Sunday

A power line is suspected of starting a grass fire that destroyed four structures, including two homes, in Natrona County on Sunday. Lt. Mark Sellers of the Natrona County Sheriff's Office says investigators have ruled out human involvement in the fire that swept through a rural residential area near the small community of Mills. Sellers says investigators believe a power line arc started a grass fire that was then driven by wind gusts of up to 45 mph. There were no serious injuries.
