CENTROPOLIS — Centropolis firefighters monitored a small fire on the east edge of Centropolis this afternoon. Initial reports indicate that a power line fell at 14th Street and Stafford Road and the sparks caused a grass fire. Because the power line was still live, firefighters stood by for utility crews to turn off the power. A second power line fell along Sand Creek Road after that and a utility crew was dispatched to the scene.
