(Turners Falls, MA) A Brush fire was caused by sparks from electrical lines on Greenfield Road in Turners Falls Friday evening. A resident in the area helped bring the fire under control quickly and Turners Falls Fire Department was called to the scene. Eversource also reported to the fire, repairing the line and restoring power to the area.
Turners Falls Fire says the fire is in “direct relation to the ongoing severe drought conditions in our region. Drought induced fire behavior can result in suppression challenges for fire resources and result in extended incident so residents are asked to exercise caution while working with open flames, and to completely drown all campfires out.”
