OSWEGO — The Labette County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a fire beneath a bridge spanning the Neosho River.
The fire, discovered Saturday, marked the second time in the past few months logs accumulated beneath the bridge have been set on fire, the Parsons Sun reported.
County officials closed the bridge on 9000 Road south of Oswego because of smoke, before reopening it Monday.
Unlike the first fire in June, which prompted full inspection of the span, the most recent fire didn’t burn as hot because of less debris from limbs and logs, and thus did not require another inspection, the newspaper reported.
