A helicopter is assisting ground crews battling a grass fire near Roxburgh today. A spokeswoman for Fenz said the fire was not near any buildings and was spreading very slowly. Two ground crews, one from Millers Flat and another from Roxburgh were in attendance. Ground crews used foam to blanket most of the area. The helicopter was being used to reach the areas ground crew could not, he said.
