The Cross Roads VFD responded to a grass fire at 1864 Highway 73 west of Cross Roads around 2:30pm Monday.  Apparently someone had been burning and the fire spread to nearby grass and weeds.  The firemen were able to save the house on the property.  About the time firemen were on the scene, Hempstead County Judge Jerry Crane was issuing a burn ban for Hempstead County.
