Lyon County officials say three small brush fires broke out in Silver Springs on Wednesday afternoon.

They said they happened around the same time -- one on Lake Avenue in the backyard of a home, and the other two on Fir Street.

Officials said neighbors helped keep the Lake Avenue fire from spreading as they waited for crews to arrive. They used rakes and hoses to help put it out.

They said there's no word on how any of them started or if they were related.
