Just before 2 p.m. on Monday, the Attala County Fire Department responded to a woods fire on Attala Rd. 3120. The Mississippi Forestry Commission was requested to assist as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.

A downed power line is believed to have sparked the blaze in the Hesterville community.

Crews found it difficult to containing the fire because it repeatedly jumped containment lines they established around the burning grass and woods.

The fire was eventually contained by the combined efforts of Attala County firefighters and the Mississippi Forestry Commission.
