Fire Near I90 Slows Traffic

A brush fire at Third and Altamont, just off Interstate 90, slowed the morning commute down earlier today as people slowed to look at it.

Traffic was reduced to two lanes on the eastbound side of the freeway for about 20 minutes as crews put the fire out. Traffic in the area is now back to normal.
