Tulare County Fire Department and several other fire agencies responded around 9 last night to the area of Rasmussen Avenue for reports of a grass fire.

Officials say the wind helped the fire spread to a nearby auto-wrecking yard.

It took crews around four and a half hours to douse the flames.

The fire burned around two acres and damaged between 350 and 500 cars in the wrecking yard.
