Culkin Volunteer Firefighter Kenny Pugh uses a water pack to spray railroad cross ties as Warren County Volunteer Fire Department Coordinator Kelly Worthy removes smoldering cross tie fragments from the railroad tracks that run parallel with Silver Creek Drive and Newman Road about two miles west of Bovina Thursday. Worthy said routine grinding of the top of the railroad tracks caused sparks, which set the cross ties on fire in five spots on about a mile of the track. (The Vicksburg Post/MELANIE DUNCAN)
