A Southeast Roadbuilders road grader caught fire Tuesday, Oct. 22 on Mosquito Lake Road. The Klehini Valley Volunteer Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire, volunteer Derek Poinsette said, after the engine overheated. "There were flames dripping out of the bottom of the engine compartment," Poinsette said.
