A dry weather pattern during the mid and latter part of the month set the stage for grass and brush fires. At Paducah, only .11 inch of rain fell from the 7th through the end of the month. The largest fire consumed about 500 acres of brush and grass near Central City in Muhlenberg County on the 25th. The fire occurred off of U.S. Highway 431 about a mile south of Central City. The fire came within 100 yards of a subdivision, but no houses were damaged. Firefighters from across the county battled the blaze for 8 hours. A grass and woods fire in Calloway County burned 20 acres on the 19th. The biggest outbreak of fires occurred on the 28th, when at least 20 fires were reported in far western Kentucky. The largest was a field fire in Marshall County that burned about 25 acres, and all 10 fire departments in the county were required to suppress it. A small barn and two sheds burned, but a row of houses and a shed containing antique cars were saved.
