DEERFIELD, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — Tuesday’s Red Flag fire warning weather resulted in multiple fires.
An illegal burn was reported on Stillwater Road in Deerfield Tuesday afternoon, although once on scene, Assistant Chief Clark found the fire to have been caused unintentionally by a lawn mower. The exhaust came in contact with dry leaves, igniting a fire. Quick work by a neighbor put out the mower fire while Deerfield Fire wet down the surrounding area.
A brushfire also broke out in Guilford, Vermont with local agencies providing mutual aid, according to the Bernardston Fire Department.
