Brush Fire Burns Fence Behind Home
No structures involved. Two engine companies responded to assure there was a sufficient water supply.
A brush fire jumped to a stockade fence behind a home at 160 Grumman Ave. Saturday afternoon.
The fire destroyed about 50 feet of fence. Embers caused the top of a tree to catch fire, resulting in a burning branch falling to the ground in the backyard of a home on Arrowhead Court.
Two engine companies carrying a combined 1,500 gallons of water responded to the fire, which was reported at around 2:30 p.m. Using a single handline, firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze in about 20 minutes.
