Kite causes a grass fire, multiple homes damaged

A kite flown near power lines is being blamed for a grass fire Saturday afternoon.

Tulsa fire crews say the grass fire started around 1:30 p.m., near 46th and Union.

It's believed two children were playing with a kite near power lines, and the wind carried the kite into the line starting a grass fire.

Crews say the fire spread to two homes and a shed.  There is no word on damage estimates.

No one was injured in the fire.
