A grass fire north of Solon tied up traffic on Highway 1 Wednesday morning.

Solon firefighters were called to 1425 Highway 1 just south of the 140^th Street intersection at 10:00. A trailer with wheel issues is believed to have sparked nearby grass.

The fire was extinguished in less than a half-hour, briefly tying up traffic heading between Solon and Mt. Vernon.

There were no reported injuries.
