NORTH WEBSTER — A grass fire spread to three residential yards and a field along East Backwater Road Tuesday night and damaged a barn.

Firefighters were unsure how or where the grass fire started, but North Webster Tippecanoe Volunteer Fire Department Senior Battalion Chief Cody Manges said a barn behind the home at 8337 E. Backwater Road sustained damage.

About two-thirds of the barn was burned. The house also had minor damage, Manges said.

The fire was under control by 6 p.m., Manges said.

No injuries were reported.
